Frank Lloyd Wright in Iowa Abstract Why "Wright in Iowa?" Are there ways that Wright's Iowa works are distinguished from his built works elsewhere? Iowa is a typical Midwest state, exceptional in neither general geography nor landscape. The ts ate's urban areas are minor, and Iowa has never been known for its subscription to avant-garde architecture. Its most renowned artist, Grant Wood, painted Iowa's rolling hills and pie-faced people in cartoon-like images that simultaneously champion and question the coalescence of people and place. Indeed, the state's most convincing buildings are found on its farms with their unpretentious, vernacular, agricultural buildings.

  • Walter Burley Griffin and Marion Mahony Griffin, Architects of Anthroposophy
    Walter Burley Griffin and Marion Mahony Griffin, Architects of Anthroposophy Dr John Paull [email protected] A century ago, on the 23rd of May 1912, the winning design of Canberra was announced. Soon after, two talented Chicago architects set sail for Australia. Their plan for Australia’s national capital, already named Canberra but at the time merely an empty paddock, had won first prize in an international competition which attracted 137 entries. The winning prize money for the design was a modest £1750 (McGregor, 2009). Walter Burley Griffin (1876-1937) and Marion Mahony (1871-1961) were married in the year preceding the win. Marion had nagged Walter to enter the competition, “What’s the use of thinking about a thing like this for ten years if when the time comes you don’t get it done in time!” She pointed out the practicalities: “Perhaps you can design a city in two days but the drawings take time and that falls on me” (Griffin, 1949, volume IV p.294). After the win was announced, Walter declared: “I have planned it not in a way that I expected any government in the world would accept. I have planned an ideal city - a city that meets my ideal of a city of the future” (New York Times, 1912). Marion chronicled events of their life together in a typewritten four- volume memoir of over 1600 pages (Griffin, 1949). Her memoir documents their life together and liberally reproduces personal correspondence between them and their associates. Her unpublished manuscript reveals the intensity with which she and Walter embraced the thoughts of Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925) and anthroposophy.

  • Vicforests Social Impact Assessment Development: Scoping Studies: Noojee Gerard Fitzgerald October 2017
    VicForests Social Impact Assessment Development: Scoping studies: Noojee Gerard Fitzgerald October 2017 1 Background to the study 1.1 Introduction Two Social Impact Assessment (SIA) scoping studies were conducted as part of the development of a social impact assessment methodology and capability within VicForests. Noojee was selected as one of these ‘learning by doing’ studies. Each study included both desk-based research and fieldwork, and, as well as providing a training experience, aimed to identify the range of potential social impacts arising from forest operations each community. This type of study is referred to as a social impacts scoping study because it is typically carried out as a preliminary exercise to determine what the key social impacts might be. In this case, the field studies were preceded by workshop-based training for VicForests staff in SIA theory, practice, and methods, and was tailored to the certification requirements of the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). This report outlines the outcomes of the scoping/training study in the town of Noojee carried out over the week of 21-25 August 2017. 1.2 Social Impact Assessment SIA is the process and practice of analysing and managing social changes and impacts on people and communities that are likely to occur as a result of a development, plan, programme, or policy. SIA can also be applied to regular or ongoing operations such as those undertaken as part of forest management. SIA typically includes stakeholder and community involvement in identifying, evaluating and managing the impacts. The aim is to avoid, minimize or manage the negative impacts on local people while maximizing the benefits.
