A Southern California Visionary with Northern Michigan Sensibilities
John Lautner By Melissa Matuscak A SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA VISIONARY WITH NORTHERN MICHIGAN SENSIBILITIES 32 | MICHIGAN HISTORY Architect John Lautner would have turned 100 years old on July 16, 2011. Two museums in his hometown of Marquette recently celebrated this milestone with concurrent exhibits. The DeVos Art Museum at Northern Michigan University focused on a professional career that spanned over 50 years and the Marquette Regional History Center told the story of the Lautner family. Combined, they demonstrated how in!uential his family and his U.P. upbringing were to Lautner’s abilities and his eye for design. nyone who has lived in the Upper Peninsula tends to develop a deeper awareness of nature, if only to anticipate the constantly changing weather. !e natural landscapes, and especially Lake Superior, are integral to the way of life in the region in both work and leisure. John Lautner’s idyllic childhood in Marquette stirred what By Melissa Matuscak would become an ongoing quest to create unity between nature and architecture. !e story of what made John Lautner a visionary architect begins with his parents. His father, John Lautner Sr., was born in 1865 near Traverse City, the son of German immigrants. !ough he began school late—at age 15—by age 32 John Sr. had received bachelor’s and master’s degrees in German literature from the University of Michigan. His studies took him to the East Coast and to Europe, but he eventually returned to Michigan to accept a position at Northern State Normal School (now Northern Michigan University) in Marquette in 1903. -

Wright in Wisconsin
Wright in Wisconsin Walk in Frank Lloyd Wright's footsteps to discover the architect's inspiration for design and the foundation of a true legacy. Born and raised in Wisconsin, Wright rooted many of his design principals in the landscape of his surroundings. Join the Martin House travel team as we discover Wright's home state and many of his designs including: Taliesin, Wright's famed home, studio and school for many years; the Jacobs House, the S.C. Johnson building, Annunciation Church, the Unitarian Meeting House, and more! Participants will enjoy guided tours, a taste of local cuisine and motor coach transportation through Wisconsin's beautiful landscape. Please see below for more detailed information on the places we will be visiting in Wisconsin. The Fred B. Jones House | Penwern (1900-03) Lake Delavan, Wisconsin Designed as a summer home for Oak Park businessman Fred B. Jones, this estate consists of four structures: a main house, boathouse, gate lodge and stable, which were built on a 10-acre site with 600 feet of lakefront and a commanding view of Delavan Lake. Penwern is privately owned and open to the public only for special Frank Lloyd Wright-related events. The Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church (1956-61) Wauwatosa, Wisconsin Located in a suburb of Milwaukee, this church was one of Frank Lloyd Wright's last major commissions; construction was completed after the architect’s death. The basic design of the church is inspired by the architect’s reinterpretation of two traditional Byzantine forms: the Greek cross and the dome. American System-Built Homes (1915-17) Milwaukee, Wisconsin Throughout his career, Frank Lloyd Wright took special interest in designing beautiful yet affordable homes for moderate-to- low-income families. -

Loving Frank
Loving Frank by John Burnham Schwartz Based on the novel by Nancy Horan Escape Artists Draft of: 10/13/09 Lionsgate Entertainment OVER A BLACK SCREEN: THE SOUND OF HAMMERING. EXT. NEW YORK, GUGGENHEIM MUSEUM - DAY (1958) A long, still WIDE SHOT of the museum’s facade: a temple of sculptural perfection. A checker CAB rolls down Fifth Avenue. Then a 1957 CADILLAC, followed by a late 1950’s New York City BUS. TWO MEN in fedoras and suits stroll through frame, stopping briefly to stare up at the building. We PRESS FORWARD into the space where the men just were, closer to the building, CLOSER, passing through the walls... INT. GUGGENHEIM, ATRIUM - CONTINUOUS Inside. WORKMEN and islands of SCAFFOLDING punctuate the vast open atrium. Ethereal light pours down from the huge skylight above. The building is still unfinished. SUPER: 1958. The HAMMERING continues, louder now, mixed with other sounds of CONSTRUCTION. One by one, the workmen stop hammering, doff their caps and stand at respectful attention. FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT, 91 and still arrogantly handsome, dressed in a black broad-brimmed hat and dark suit, stands in the center of the atrium, surveying the space and light. Pleased, but not satisfied. Seeing something that we are not seeing. He nods perfunctorily at the workmen and begins to walk slowly up the long, spiralling RAMP. The workmen stare after him -- the greatest architect of their time -- then return to work. INT. GUGGENHEIM, RAMP - CONTINUOUS Alone, slowly, Frank ascends the ramp. Looking critically at things -- the quality of plasterwork, cavities in the walls and ceilings where lights will be -- but also, the higher he goes, the more he seems to be entering another state of mind, a place of his own. -
