 Modular units of construction provide great utility such as reduced labor, design order,and construction economy. Usonian Textile Blocks were brilliant iterations on modular concrete blocks transformed by the inventive genius of Frank Lloyd Wright. Designed in 1939 as faculty housing and recently completed this Usonian prototype is now part of the Sharp Family Tourism and Education Center at Florida Southern College, Lakeland Florida.
