I chose to represent both the history of the vacation home and Frank Lloyd Wright’s designs because there was more information on the two subjects combined. Although the topics are not directly related, they both incorporate the importance of the vacation home and how it relates to American ideals. I felt that without knowing the history of the vacation home and more recent statistics, information about Wright would not be as meaningful. I thought I would start the timeline with the first vacation recorded because it is vital to know the background on the subject before learning about more current information regarding vacations.
Prior to doing this project, I did not know Frank Lloyd Wright, and I have learned so much about him. He really made an impact on design and architecture in America and beyond and it is fascinating that many of his homes have turned into houses that are open to the public or available to rent. I chose not to focus on one of his homes, but rather include many of his creations, such as Fallingwater, Usonia, and Taliesin West, in order to compare and contrast and learn more about him.
It was interesting to make the connection between Airbnb (which I had researched for my listicle) and how many of Wright’s homes are listed on the website. Wright was clearly such an influential architect and designer and it is so fascinating that his homes are available to rent, especially on such an accessible platform such as Airbnb.
At times, I found it hard to make the timeline flow between information regarding the history of the vacation home which was broader and material on Wright’s homes which was very specific. For certain timeline points, I talked about the history of the vacation home and then would write a sentence or two at the end about how the history relates to Wright in one way or another. I incorporated YouTube videos, which are very useful tools, songs from Spotify relating to vacation, GIF’s, and many images (specifically of Wright’s homes) to give the reader more information without including too many words on the page. I used a total of 20 sources, 10 academic and 10 trusted media sources. Of these 20 sources, 5 were taken from my listicle.
The listicle was really a jumpstart to this project, but after doing the timeline I feel much more confident on this subject. It is such a fascinating part to our culture that I do not think is analyzed enough. I am looking forward to using the information I already have and expanding this project even further and completing my final paper!
