Description: Little Building Co. Unity Temple Scale Wooden Architectural Model Kit Frank Lloyd Wright NIBorig. $200 Manufacturer's DescriptionUnity Temple - Oak Park, Illinois, USA Unity Temple was constructed between 1905 and 1908 and dedicated in September 1909. Unity Temple is one of Wright’s earliest works of genius. Built in Oak Park, Illinois, Wright’s bold, experimental design for Unity Temple used poured-in-place reinforced concrete, a material associated at the time with utilitarian buildings. Because of its intrinsic characteristics of strength and plasticity (the ability to be shaped), concrete enabled Wright to design a building comprised of bold structural forms with integrated ornamentation. Wright also selected a concrete that exposed the aggregate materials from which it was comprised, underscoring concrete itself as a material derived from nature. For more than 100 years, the building has continued to be the home of the Unity Temple Unitarian Universalist Congregation. In 1971, Unity Temple was designated a U.S. National Historic Landmark. It is one of eight buildings included in the UNESCO World Heritage Site, “The 20th Century Architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright.” Model Scale 1:150 – Approx 250mm x 150mm x 70mm (9.8in x 2.5in x 5.9in) ConditionItem is brand new in box.
