On April 9, 1959, America lost its greatest architect, and the buildings of became his living legacy. Of his approximately 500 built works, over twenty percent have been demolished in the 59 years since his death. Another 500 were never built, surviving only as drawings or plans, now housed in the Avery Library of Columbia University, New York. This year the Trust launches a new video series on Wright’s lost works, unveiling our first program on the Larkin Building. Featured on the Trust’s website and available on YouTube, these videos recreate the experience of Wright’s lost buildings and render more vivid the architectural achievement of his career.

Interior restoration in progress at . At Robie House this year a dramatic interior restoration is well underway with several important rooms complete this summer. It’s an exciting time to visit and witness the restoration as Trust interpreters share the technical details with you.

Page 2 WRIGHT’S LOST WORKS COME TO LIFE DIGITAL ANIMATION SERIES

Central Light Court, Larkin Administration Building architectural visualization by Razin Khan

Working in collaboration with architect Razin Khan, Trust Curator David Bagnall has launched the first in a new online educational series of digital animations exploring some of Wright’s most important demolished and unrealized structures. Frank Lloyd Wright: The Lost Works will bring these lost buildings to life through immersive digital animations accurate to Wright’s original plans and drawings, along with archival photographs.

The series has launched with Wright’s Larkin Administration Building. Designed for the Larkin Company of Buffalo, New York, and built from 1904 to 1906, the building was Wright’s first large-scale commission. Darwin Martin, the company’s secretary, had viewed Wright’s work first hand in Oak Park in 1902. It was Martin who encouraged John Larkin to hire Wright for the design of the company’s headquarters. The Larkin Building was demolished in 1950.

The development of the Larkin Building animation was supported by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation.
