Two "Tree of Life" windows designed by Frank Lloyd Wright are currently on display at the Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art at Cornell University.

Designed for the Darwin D. Martin House in Buffalo, New York, the windows seem to echo I.M. Pei's use of light and line.

Frank Lloyd Wright's windows and I.M. Pei's museum building both explore the boundaries between interior and exterior space.

  1. Bold yet transparent...
  2. Towered display spaces...
  3. Horizontal windows...
  4. Cantilevered spaces...
