Your tour leader Dr Matthew Laing has a PhD in American History from the Australian National University and is currently with Monash University. He has a comprehensive knowledge of the history of the United States, providing vital context for understanding the remarkable art, architecture and design of the 20th century. For Matthew, the art and design of the USA has a global significance. “The United States has profoundly influenced modern architectural and design movements, and its echoes can be seen everywhere in Australia”, he comments. “From Walter Burley and Marion Mahoney Griffin's Chicago-school design for Canberra, to the William Levitt-style post-war surburbia in Melbourne, to the Frank Gehry building at the University of Technology in Sydney, Australia owes much to American design ideas.” On tour, Matthew particularly likes to point out the link between history, society and the visual arts. “Architecture and design are built expressions of historical ideas. The cutting-edge designs of today become the tangible representations of our history and thoughts.” Enquiries and bookings For further information and to secure a place on this tour Refuel Continuing Professional Development Provider please contact Jamal Academy Travel are recognised Australian Institute of Architects Refuel Fairbrother at Academy Travel providers of Continuing Professional Development (CPD).

Tour Highlights FALLINGWATER The ultimate expression of organic architecture, we enjoy an in-depth tour of Wright’s most famous design, Fallingwater, the magnificent home built for the Kaufmann family on top of a waterfall. This “weekender” reignited Wright’s career after a decade of no major commissions and within twelve months he was on the cover of Time magazine and had became the first “starchitect”. The American Institute of Architects describes Fallingwater as the “best all-time work of American architecture” ROBIE HOUSE On our final night in Chicago we enjoy a private cocktail reception inside Robie House where we can wander through the house just as Frederick C. Robie did in 1909. It is considered to be the ultimate expression of Wright’s Prairie Style architecture and was his last major project before escaping to Europe with his mistress, Mamah Cheney. Typical of Wright's Prairie houses, he designed not only the house, but all of the interiors, the windows, lighting, rugs, furniture and textiles. NIAGARA FALLS Considered one of the Wonders of the Natural World, Niagara Falls straddles the border between the United States and Canada and comprises three separate falls which combined have the highest flow rate of any waterfall in the world. We enjoy a relaxing afternoon wandering through the recently restored National Park and marvel as Lake Erie empties into Lake Ontario. JOHNSON WAX BUILDING Commissioned by Herbert F Johnson as a beacon of modernity for the administration of his floor wax company, Wright designed such a unique office space that Philip Johnson described it as “the most beautiful room in America”. With its lily pad columns and glass tube ceiling, the building is still used today, as it was designed, even using the same design of desks and chairs. We also visit the recently restored Research Tower that Wright designed as well as the Norman Foster designed Fortaleza Hall. TALIESIN We experience a full estate tour of Wright’s home for 30 years that was the site of many of the dramas in his life and the inspiration for many of his masterpieces. Comprising several buildings and farms set over 240 hectares, Taliesin still encompasses Wright’s vision of a self sufficient community of architects. From the Romeo and Juliet Windmill to his home and studio, which was rebuilt twice after tragedy and fire, Taliesin provides an intimate insight into his colourful life. Detailed itinerary Included meals are shown with the symbols B, L and D. Saturday October 27 arrive Arrive in Chicago and meet your tour leader and fellow travellers for a welcome drink. Overnight Chicago Sunday October 28 Downtown Chicago The Great Fire of 1871 destroyed the entire Chicago CBD, leaving the way open for architects to design a new and modern city. The first steel-framed high rise building rose in 1885 and the skyline today is densely packed with skyscrapers, many by renowned architects. Our walking tour this morning takes us past some of the city’s most iconic buildings. We visit the lobby of the Rookery Building, the masterpiece of Daniel Burnham Above: Anish Kapoor’s Cloud Gate, reflecting and distorting the city's and remodelled by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1905. In the afternoon skyline in Millennium Park we take the Chicago Architectural Foundation river cruise to Below: Mies van der Rohe’s Farnsworth House in Oak Park; and American gain an overview of the city’s historic and modern architectural Gothic by Grant Wood in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago styles. Tonight we have dinner in a local restaurant. Overnight Chicago (B, D) Monday October 29 Frank Lloyd Wright – the early years & Farnsworth House Today we take a private coach tour of Oak Park. This Chicago suburb is where Frank Lloyd Wright lived and worked and where much of his early work can still be found. We have an interior tour of Wright’s home and studio, which Wright used as his architecture laboratory for his early designs. We then view the numerous examples of Prairie Style architecture in the surrounding neighbourhood. In the afternoon, we drive west to Plano to visit Farnsworth House, the masterpiece of Modernist residential architecture by Mies van der Rohe, set in a beautiful landscape beside the Fox River. Overnight Chicago (B) Tuesday October 30 Chicago art and architecture We begin our day with a walk through Millennium Park. Originally occupied by railyards and parking lots, the area was redeveloped into a public space featuring an outdoor concert venue, gardens, restaurants and some spectacular art installations. From here we make our way to the highly-regarded Art Institute of Chicago, boasting a fine collection of both European and American painting and over 60 ‘decorated rooms’ – accurately reconstructed furnished interiors from a broad range of times and places. After a private guided tour, there is time to explore the collection independently and a break for lunch. In the afternoon we travel by coach for a private interior visit and cocktail reception in Robie House, perhaps the fullest expression of Wright’s Prairie Style in Chicago. Our trip takes us through the ‘White City’ – the site of the 1893 World’s Fair. Overnight Chicago (B) Wednesday October 31 SC Johnson Complex We farewell Chicago and travel north to Racine, Wisconsin to visit the SC Johnson Wax Administration Building and Research Tower, a landmark in commercial office architecture. Subject to availability, we will also tour Wingspread, the expansive low lying home designed for Herbert Johnson, one of Wright’s great patrons. We continue onto Milwaukee to visit the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church, Wright’s modernist interpretation of Byzantine architecture. Overnight Milwaukee (B) Thursday November 1 Milwaukee This morning we visit the Milwaukee Art Museum to see the Prairie School Archives and later tour one of Wright’s American System-Built homes. We then travel west for a private visit to Jacobs House I, considered the first ‘Usonian’ home, part of Wright’s ideal of a new world architecture free. We arrive in Madison, Wisconsin, our base for two nights and enjoy dinner in a local restaurant. Overnight Madison (B, D) Friday November 2 Taliesin This remote site in rural Wisconsin was the architect’s home from 1911, and is of central importance to understanding Wright.

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.
