Question
My name is Sofia, I'm 18, and I'm studying Architecture in Lisbon, Portugal. I'm in the second year of the University.
As a school work, I must make a detailed study about Jacobs House- Madison, including drawings, detailed plans and model.
I have tried to look for information to enable me to do this job but, until now, I could only find a small floor plan.
I have looked in 2 school libraries, I've spent hours searching the WEB, and can't find enough information. I'm starting to be despaired.
Can you please advise me where I can look for this information? Do you have some useful information that you can give me?
I would be extremely grateful if you could help me with this.
Thank you in advance.
Sofia

Answer
Sofia --

Frank Lloyd Wright's Usonian houses are beautiful ... great choice, BTW for a research project. I'm sure you've already seen the small plan at http://www.usonia1.com/

Here's a link to a larger plan of the Herbert Jacobs house in Madison that should help: http://www.eslarp.uiuc.edu/arch/ARCH371-F99/groups/n/flwusonian.html

Let me know if you need more.
