Frank Lloyd Wright Combo Tour Fnervx LroYD WrucHT CoMBINATIoN Toun Graycliff Estate. Derby, NY 139.00 ,t {minimum of 3o traveters} 7:30 AM Depart by chartered motorcoach from the Batavia Home Depot (atat veterans Memorial Drive, Batavialfor Buffalo. 7:45 Pick up at Alexander Fireman's Recreation Hall (10708 Alexander Road /Rte. 98, Alexander). 8:15 Pick up at Darien Center Pavilion Parking Lot (10537 Alleghany Road). Rest/Coffee Stop en route. 9:30 Visit Frank Lloyd Wright's Martin House (125 Jewett Pkwy, Buffalo). Designed by the famous architect, the Martin House is an extraordinary house museum and National Historic Landmark in Buffalo, NY. Nestled in the city's historic Parkside neighborhood, the site ranks as one of Wright's finest residential projects - a place where architecture, the surrounding landscape, and an extensive collection of art glass and furnishings come together to form a complete work of genius. 12:30 PM Board your motorcoach and transfer to Lakeview New York for Lunch. 1:00 Arrive and be seated for lunch at JPs Banquet House (meal selections to be advised). 2:3A Visit Frank Lloyd Wright Graycliffs Estate (6472 Old Lake Shore Rd, Derby). More than a home, Graycliff is one of Wright's most stunning examples of Organic architecture, and an unexpected departure from his signature Prairie style. At one with its surroundings, Graycliff blurs the distinction between man's creation and nature's generosity-built using sand, rock, and wood harvested from the grounds and coastline, then flooded with natural light. Embracing the serenity of the gardens and the sweeping Lake Erie vista, Wright redefined modern architecture not through opulence and grandeur, but by exhibiting a mastery of subtlety and restraint. 4:30 Reboard motorcoach for your return home with an ice cream stop en route (at travelers' expense). 6:00-5:30 Estimated time of return to Darien, Alexander, and Batavia.

Courtesy of Period Paper Lincoln Logs Inventor John Lloyd Wright AUGUST 23, 2018 BY MONICA M. SMITH Yes, this popular childhood toy was designed by none other than the son of architect Frank Lloyd Wright! Years ago while conducting research for the Lemelson Center’s Invention at Play exhibition, I was surprised to learn that Lincoln Logs—one of my favorite childhood toys—were designed by John Lloyd Wright, son of world-famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Overshadowed by his father, John has received little attention beyond a brief 1982 biography now available online. And he certainly seemed reticent about telling his own story, instead publicly sharing only a few experiences as part of his short, impressionistic 1946 book about Frank titled My Father Who Is On Earth. https://invention.si.edu/lincoln-logs-inventor-john-lloyd-wright 1/5 8/20/2019 Lincoln Logs Inventor John Lloyd Wright | Lemelson Center for the Study of Invention and Innovation Left: John Lloyd Wright in Spring Green, Wisconsin, 1921, ICHi-173783.

Here is a brief overview of his story, including the origins of those ever-popular Lincoln Logs. Born in 1892, John Kenneth (later changed to Lloyd) Wright was the second of Frank and Catherine Wright’s six children.

  • Graycliff – a Truly American Story “In His Unshakable Optimism
    Graycliff – A Truly American Story “In his unshakable optimism, messianic zeal, and pragmatic resilience, Wright was quintessentially American.” ‐ Smithsonian magazine tribute on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Guggenheim. Just as it is often said that Frank Lloyd Wright was truly American in spirit and style, the Graycliff story is woven out of strands that also have a truly American flavor. The American Dream, embodying the notion of opportunity for all, takes shape here in the true-to-life rags-to-riches story of Darwin Martin. The close cousin to the American Dream – the one that holds that through gumption and perseverance one may triumph – is on display as well. Perseverance, resilience, and the comeback story are all in evidence at various stages in Graycliff’s 90 years – for the Martins, for Wright himself, for the house, the region, and for the Graycliff Conservancy as an organization. Win-win relationships where all parties pragmatically get their needs met are both a hallmark of American history and culture and a defining characteristic of relationships at Graycliff where all the key players compromised a little while holding onto their defining principles in the end. One of the most enduring and distinctive American values is the lure and promise of nature, wilderness, and the frontier and the potential of new beginnings that are implicit in the purity of nature and the fresh start that movement to a new place makes possible. This is evident in both the post-retirement reboot for the Martin family at Graycliff and the property’s roots in organic architecture in which the house rose from the lands on which it sits.

  • Space of Continuity: Frank Lloyd Wright's Destruction of the Box And
    Space of Continuity: Frank Lloyd Wright’s Destruction of the Box and Modern Conceptions of Space Late 19th-early 20th century America was an era of confluence of science, phi- losophy and religion: a contemporary polemic that equated religion (belief based on faith) with science (knowledge based on empirical data of physical phe- nomena). Modernity in 20th century America would be shaped by a pervasive theosophical atmosphere that coupled science with religion to cause a recon- sideration of mental/spiritual relationships and a redefinition of space/time concepts. Theosophy’s introduction of Eastern metaphysics to Western culture revealed possibilities of an inner self with respect to the outer being and opened the way to conceive of inner space, or interiority, and as a result interior space in buildings. To follow is a reconsideration of Wright’s work with respect to the theosophical and occult influences that guided his thinking. His contribution to today’s notion of architecture as a space of continuity will be demonstrated through case studies of his work beginning with the early Dana House (begun in 1899) to the Guggenheim Museum (completed after his death in 1959). EUGENIA VICTORIA ELLIS THE RED SQUARE Drexel University Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) began his practice in 1893 after being fired for “moonlighting” near the end of his five year contract with Adler and Sullivan, one of the then-preeminent Chicago architecture firms. Originally hired to draw the delicate ornamental details of the Auditorium Building interior, another ornamental masterpiece Wright had detailed just debuted at the World’s Columbian Exposition.
