Introduction The Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) was started in 1933 as one of the New Deal make-work programs, to employ jobless architects, draftspeople, and photographers. Its purpose is to document the nation’s architectural heritage, especially those buildings that are in danger of ruin or deliberate destruction. Today, the HABS is part of the National Park Service and its repository is in the Library of Congress, much of which is available online at loc.gov. Of the tens of thousands HABS buildings, I found 44 Frank Lloyd Wright designs that have been digitized. Each HABS survey includes photographs and/or drawings and/or a report. I’ve included here what the Library of Congress had–sometimes all three, sometimes two of the three, and sometimes just one. There might be a single photo or drawing, or, such as in the case of Florida Southern College (in volume two), over a hundred.

  • Villa Caldogno Si Trova Nel Comune Agricolo Omonimo, Una Decina Di

    Villa Caldogno Si Trova Nel Comune Agricolo Omonimo, Una Decina Di

    Villa Caldogno si trova nel comune agricolo omonimo, una decina di chilometri a nord di Vicenza, poco distante dalla statale 46 del Pasubio, in una zona di bellezza rurale ben conservata. Il committente, Losco Caldogno, è un nobile vicentino affermatosi nel commercio della seta: ricevuta in eredità una tenuta agricola, decide di ristrutturare la fattoria affidandosi a un architetto che ha già dato buona prova di sé con certi suoi parenti, i Godi di Lugo di Vicenza (Villa Godi). Quando riceve l'incarico Andrea Palladio ha 34 anni ed è ancora ancora legato alla bottega di Girolamo Pittoni e Giacomo da Porlezza, ma opera in modo sempre più autonomo e personale. Il progetto non risulta incluso nei Quattro Libri dell'Architettura, l'opera del 1570 che riassume il pensiero del grande architetto, ma porta verosimilmente la sua firma per le analogie con edifici contemporanei di sicura paternità (villa Saraceno e villa Muzani). L'edificio ha pianta molto lineare, dettata dalle murature preesistenti, con vano centrale passante e ambienti laterali; una semplicità, che viene però stemperata dalla decorazione ad affresco del 1570, per mano del Fasolo e dello Zelotti, con belle scene conviviali d'atmosfera rinascimentale. Villa Caldogno è una delle architetture palladiane di più felice realtà odierna: sede della biblioteca comunale, offre i suoi spazi di rappresentanza a manifestazioni culturali ed eventi mondani. Da segnalare, anche, il recente recupero del giardino e della peschiera, oltre che un interessante intervento di architettura contemporanea sulla barchessa*, oggi adibita a spazio espositivo. Per un parallelo stilistico, nello stesso anno Palladio progetta Palazzo Thiene, villa Gazzotti, villa Pisani, villa Thiene e villa Valmarana.

Frank Lloyd Wright From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Frank Lloyd Wright (born Frank Lincoln Wright, June 8, 1867 – April 9, Frank Lloyd Wright 1959) was an American architect, interior designer, writer and educator, who designed more than 1000 structures and completed 532 works. Wright believed in designing structures which were in harmony with humanity and its environment, a philosophy he called organic architecture. This philosophy was best exemplified by his design for Fallingwater (1935), which has been called "the best all-time work of American architecture".[1] Wright was a leader of the Prairie School movement of architecture and developed the concept of the Usonian home, his unique vision for urban planning in the United States. His work includes original and innovative examples of many different building types, including offices, churches, schools, Born Frank Lincoln Wright skyscrapers, hotels, and museums. Wright June 8, 1867 also designed many of the interior Richland Center, Wisconsin elements of his buildings, such as the furniture and stained glass. Wright Died April 9, 1959 (aged 91) authored 20 books and many articles and Phoenix, Arizona was a popular lecturer in the United Nationality American States and in Europe. His colorful Alma mater University of Wisconsin- personal life often made headlines, most Madison notably for the 1914 fire and murders at his Taliesin studio.

Watch "Artbound" S9 E1: That Far Corner - Frank Lloyd Wright in Los Angeles now. When he came to Southern California in the early 1920s, Frank Lloyd Wright had already known equal measures of personal and professional success and crushing disappointment. Devoted to the idea of developing a new American architecture that was not beholden to the ideals and values of Europe, he had already created the famed Prairie style of architecture, whose horizontal eaves, open floor plans and emphasis on natural colors and materials captured the ethos of his native rolling Midwestern landscapes. Like so many before and since, Wright was eager for a new start in California. He began visiting the area regularly while designing Tokyo’s famed Imperial Hotel. This commission meant that he had to travel overland from the Midwest to California before boarding a ship to cross the Pacific. In January 1923, Wright opened up a small office in what is now West Hollywood. He had already finished one local project the previous year, Hollyhock House, built for oil heiress Aline Barnsdall. His drawing board was soon filled with plans for four more houses, to be constructed solely of geometric cast concrete blocks. He referred to these commissions as textile block houses and they turned out to be unlike anything he had designed before.
  • The Rise of the Architectural Fact

    The Rise of the Architectural Fact

    Pleitinx R, Barkouch G. The Rise of the Architectural Fact. ARENA Journal of Architectural Research. 2020; 5(1): 3. DOI: https://doi.org/10.5334/ajar.237 HUMANITIES ESSAY The Rise of the Architectural Fact Renaud Pleitinx and Ghita Barkouch Université catholique de Louvain, BE Corresponding author: Renaud Pleitinx ([email protected]) Through a Mediationist Theory of Architecture based on Jean Gagnepain’s much wider theory of mediation, this theoretical essay discusses the idea that is referred to here as the archi- tectural fact. Its first section therefore presents the five hypotheses of Gagnepain’s theory of mediation and also the definition of architecture that he has suggested. The second part of the essay provides a more detailed definition of the architectural fact and an explanation of the rational principles of its emergence. It involves a clarification of the fundamental notions of form and formula, key concepts of the Mediationist Theory of Architecture. Deepening our understanding of the architectural fact, the essay’s third section attempts to explain how it arises within the design process. To do so it provides a contrasting study of, firstly, a series of Palladio’s villas, and secondly, the different versions of the Kimbell Art Museum as designed by Louis I. Kahn and his team. Keywords: Architectural fact; Mediationist Theory of Architecture; Jean Gagnepain; form; formula; Jean-Nicolas-Louis Durand; Andrea Palladio; villa; Louis Kahn; Kimbell Art Museum Introduction Architects feel it better than anyone, but everybody can have a grasp of it.
