Wright Angles: A DIALOGUE LOOKING AHEAD TO WRIGHT 150

From the President & CEO

In 2017 the Trust will celebrate the 150th anniversary of ’s birth. Born in post-Civil War America, Wright was a child of the rural Midwest whose life was transformed by Chicago. Here he arrived at age nineteen, determined to become an architect of great distinction in a city of great architects immersed in building a new Chicago in the midst of dynamic change and progressive thinking. His lifetime spanned the modern era, from the Avant-Garde movements of the early 20th century to the height of Modernism by mid century. He fulfilled his ambition, creating the Prairie style, a uniquely American architecture, and continuously recreating his original design vision to the very end of his long life and career. During 2017 the Trust will collaborate with many businesses, cultural organizations, and civic agencies Cover photo: Frank Lloyd Wright at age 3, ca. 1870 to recognize Wright’s legacy in Chicago, where the Collection of the Frank Lloyd Wright Trust majority of his built works remain today. Our Trust logo has been festively enhanced for the celebration that will have many points of light animating our city and its environs.

DARWIN D. MARTIN HOUSE VISITOR CENTER, BUFFALO, NEW YORK

TMA’s design for the Darwin Martin House Visitor Center engages the Martin House through contrast rather than imitation. The design of the Pavilion’s roof is a reverse hip-roof, and the use of glass opposes the solid nature of opaque brick found in the Martin House. However, the Pavilion’s large triple-glazed glass panes grow out of the ground, cantilevered by continuous steel channels. Its plan reflects the open plan of the Martin House. This dialogue is an interpretation of Wright’s principles with contemporary materials and technology to create a new paradigm of organic architecture. Courtesy of Toshiko Mori Architect

BROOKLYN CHILDREN’S MUSEUM ROOF TOP PAVILION, NEW YORK

The Brooklyn Children’s Museum Roof Top Pavilion is a three-season, open-air canopy atop the existing roof terrace. The 7,300 sq ft clear span creates a column-free space to accommodate multiple functions, including gatherings, performances and casual outdoor dining for an existing café. The simplicity and efficiency of the arched steel structure’s single- radius curves and the use of Ethylene Tetra Fluoro Ethylene (ETFE) cladding allows the canopy to remain slender and light.

HOUSE IN COLUMBIA COUNTY, COLUMBIA COUNTY, NY

Perched on a cliff in Columbia County, the design of the residence maximizes its relationship to the compelling landscape. The glazed western facade opens to stunning views extending fifty miles to the Hudson River, while the eastern facade nestles below grade for a more intimate relationship to the nearby woods.
