- jon accarrinoJuly 29, 2017Unity Temple (1906-1908) proved that concrete can be beautiful. The lack of windows reduces street noise while stained glass windows in the roof and clerestories provide natural light to parishioners.
Fluying ✅July 10, 2019Since 2019, a UNESCO World Heritage site.Unity Temple (1905-08), strikingly geometric in form, was Wright’s first public building to feature exposed concrete, announcing a new era of modern innovation
Jim BoleyJune 26, 2014Not to be missed Frank Lloyd Wright. A masterpiece. Do 1 hour guided tour - exterior & interior. The Interior is awesome - light from skylights above is beautiful. NOT MAYAN INFLUENCED.
Jake SmithNovember 11, 2012In recounting his experiences with Unity Temple, Wright once stated that this particular design was the first time he ever realized that the real heart of a building is its space, not its walls.
