  • Informe Frank Lloyd Wright
    Nombre :Daniel Oswaldo Rodriguez Catedratico: Arq. A.Vaquero Clase: Historia Arq. 4 Cuenta: 1101097 Fecha: Junio/11/12 Frank Lloyd Wright Frank Lloyd Wright (Richland Center, Wisconsin, 8 de junio de 1867 - Phoenix, Arizona, 9 de abril de 1959), arquitecto estadounidense, fue uno de los principales maestros de la arquitectura del siglo XX conocido por la arquitectura orgánica y funcional de sus diseños. • Biografía Tras abandonar su carrera de ingeniería en Wisconsin al fallecer su padre, Wright se va a Chicago, donde la oficina de los arquitectos Adler y Sullivan le contrataron para trabajar con Sullivan durante 6 años como delineante jefe, hasta que en 1893, abandona por un altercado que tuvo con él y abrió su propio estudio de arquitectura. En estos años diseñó la Casa Winslow, en River Forest, Illinois, la primera de la famosa serie de viviendas de pradera. Se trata de casas unifamiliares, fuertemente integradas en su entorno. Las cubiertas sobresalen considerablemente de las fachadas y las ventanas forman una secuencia continua horizontal . El núcleo central de las viviendas lo constituye una gran chimenea, alrededor de la cual se disponen las estancias. Otras casas diseñadas en este estilo fueron, por ejemplo, la de Willitts, en Highland Park, Illinois, y la D. Martin, en Buffalo, Nueva York. Wright creó un nuevo concepto respecto a los espacios interiores de los edificios, que aplicó en sus casas de pradera, pero también en sus demás obras. Wright rechaza el criterio existente hasta entonces de los espacios interiores como estancias cerradas y aisladas de las demás, y diseña espacios en los que cada habitación o sala se abre a las demás, con lo que consigue una gran transparencia visual, una profusión de luz y una sensación de amplitud y abertura.

  • John G. Thorpe Young Professionals and Students Fellowship
    JOHN G. THORPE YOUNG PROFESSIONALS AND STUDENTS FELLOWSHIP Program Overview The Thorpe Fellowship provides an opportunity for young professionals and graduate students to attend the annual Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy conference by covering the registration fee for the event. The conference provides edu- cational panels, presentations and commentary about various aspects of Wright’s work by scholars, practitioners, building owners and other experts. The conference also enables attendees to experience the architecture directly through tours to Wright sites in the vicinity of the conference, including private residences that are rarely open to the public, and to buildings by other architects of interest. The program was established in 2016 to honor John Garrett Thorpe, restoration architect and longtime Conservancy board member. Program Award Fellowship recipients receive one regular general conference registration to attend the Conservancy’s annual conference, including all education sessions and regular tours (optional add-on events may be added at the fellowship recipient’s ex- pense based on availability). For the 2016 Conservancy conference in San Francisco, Nov. 2-5, the program award is valued at $645. Two awards will be made in 2016, the first year of the program. Recipients are responsible for their own transporta- tion to the conference and all lodging expenses. Eligibility Young professionals in the first five years of their careers in architecture or historic preservation and graduate students in architecture or historic preservation (full-time or part-time) currently enrolled at the time of application are eligible to apply for a fellowship. Students may have completed their degree by the time of the conference.

Briey, they are these: oces are necessary for the transaction of business; the invention and perfection of the high- speed elevator make vertical travel, that was once tedious and painful, now easy and comfortable; development of steel manufactures has shown the way to safe, rigid, economical constructions rising to a great height...” LOUIS SULLIVAN THE TALL OFFICE BUILDING ARTFULLY CONSIDERED 1896 “...continued growth of population in the great cities, conseqnent congestion

This year the Trust is going through the process of reaccreditation by the Alliance of American Museums. Every ten years, the AAM reconfirms that our mission and values guide all of the Trust’s policies, daily operations, programs and initiatives.

AAM reviews the Trust’s accomplishments of the past ten years and our present state of Dining room detail, J. Kibben Ingalls House best practice as an American museum. It is a moment to consider how (Frank Lloyd Wright, 1909). far the Trust has come and to envision its future in this new decade. Photo: James Caulfield On completion of the Robie House restoration and World Heritage inscription last year, the Trust was awarded a grant from the Society of Architectural Historians to bring students from Chicago Public Schools in surrounding South Side neighborhoods to Robie House. This issue of Wright Angles includes some of the student class photos. Many of their classroom teachers have participated in the Trust’s nationally known Teaching by Design program, our signature education initiative of the past decade. Future plans are built on the foundation of past success. This year’s Wright Plus weekend marks the 47th consecutive year of this Oak Park-River Forest event. A superb group of private homes has been assembled this year.

F.L.Wright, "A Home in a Prairie Town” In Ladies Home Journal, 1901. G.E. Woodward, Suburban House, 1873 «Il progetto di questa casa fu fatto allo scopo di dare ad ogni stanza un'esposizione soleggiata a sud; e su dieci stanze nove godono almeno una vista a sud-est. Il piano principale è disposto in modo che l'atrio spazioso, con la scala in curva, presenta dall'ingresso una visuale attraente. Il camino è il centro della casa e aperture con porte scorrevoli mettono a ciascuna delle stanze principali; cosicchè all'occasione atrio, salotto, biblioteca e sala da pranzo possono essere riunite; mentre la forma ottagona di queste stanze aggiunge molto alla loro bellezza».
