Its president at the time, Grady Gammage, was a good friend of the architect. Wright’s First Christian Church (designed in 1948/built posthumously by the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation in 1973), 6750 N.

Price House (1954), 7211 N. Tatum Blvd., with its graceful combination of concrete block, steel and copper in a foothills setting. Wright’s approach continued through his pupils, such as Albert Chase McArthur, who is generally credited with the design of the spectacular Arizona Biltmore Hotel (1928), 24th St. and Missouri Ave. Wright’s influence on the building is clear in both massing and details, including the distinctive concrete Biltmore Blocks, cast onsite to an Emry Kopta design.

To Wright, this material was a highly expressive, decorative, and practical approach to create monumental yet affordable buildings. Indeed, some of his most iconic structures, including the Ennis House in Los Angeles, utilized the textile block system. However, like so many of Wright’s experiments with materials and engineering, textile block has posed major challenges to generations of building owners, architects, and conservators who have struggled with the system’s material and structural performance.

    A BEST WESTERN MOTEL FOR CARLSBAD, NEW MEXICO Presented to W.

A feasibility study was imder- taken, and was completed in September, 1977- The company conducting the study determined that the site location and cost of the site was not excessive for a project of the scope we had planned. The problem was in the room rate structure. Historically Carlsbad has had low guest room rates relative to the industry as a whole, and the region in particular. The recommendation was to delay or postpone construction plans until testing the market with significantly higher rates. The motel operators in Carlsbad have since raised their rates considerably since 1977f and based on the feasibility study's figures, I believe the project is feasible now. This project is significant to me because of the feasi­ bility of the project now, because there is a good possibility that the project might actually be constructed from the design I generate in Thesis studio, or at least based on my design.

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.

First, they are an important amenity of the classic winter resort of the Salt River Valley. Second, they are part of William Wrigley, Jr.'s only major Improvement to his beloved resort, and third, they are an important example of the work of Phoenix architect and builder, Robert T. Evans. History: Begun during the summer of 1928 and opened with three days of gala celebrations beginning February 23, 1929, the Arizona Biltmore Hotel is an architectural and historical treasure symbolizing the golden age of resort development in the Salt River Valley. (1) It was a time during the late 1920s through the mid-193Os when the Biltmore, along with such pioneering properties as the Ingleside Inn, San Marcos Hotel, the Wigwam, Jokake Inn, and Camelback Inn, made wintering in Arizona a household image on the North Shore of Chicago, the Main Line in Philadelphia, and Park Avenue in New York City. Designed by Albert Chase McArthur, inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright, and developed by Warren and Charles McArthur, the Arizona Biltmore experienced significant cost overruns in its construction and furnishing that were beyond the means of most of its stockholders.

    A Building Condition Assessment Report for the Eisendrath House Tempe, Arizona Alliance Architects LLC April, 1999 Robert G. Graham Larry R. Sorenson Introduction The Eisendrath House occupies a prominent nine-acre parcel of intact Sonoran desert featuring rock outcroppings, numerous saguaros and riparian washes in North Tempe. Its location to the north of the Arizona Historical Society Marley Center on College Avenue and abutting Tempe’s Papago Park makes it a valuable and attractive property for both potential developers and the public. The history and architectural quality of the home also make it a very significant historical resource. The house was designed and built in 1930 by Robert T. Evans for Rose Eisendrath, widow of a wealthy Chicago glove manufacturer. Evans was a prominent local architect and builder of the time, who worked extensively with adobe and the Pueblo Revival style. The Eisendrath House is one of his best-preserved and most notable efforts. Although after serving as rental property with minimal maintenance the house is now deteriorating. Past interest in the Eisendrath House led to a nomination to the National Register of Historic Places, which was halted due to objection from the owner. The house was again identified as eligible for listing in the National Register in the 1997 Tempe Multiple Resource Area Update completed by Ryden Architects (Ryden 1997). There appears to be ample public support and interest for preservation; the North Tempe Neighborhood Plan has included preservation of the Eisendrath House as one of the area’s major objectives. In 1999, the property was named an endangered resource by the Arizona Preservation Foundation, a statewide historic preservation group.

Central Avenue Phoenix, Arizona 85012 602-285-1300 ARCHITECT Vernon Swaback Associates 7550 E. McDonald Drive Scottsdale, AZ 85250 602-991-6700 GENERAL DESCRIPTION With the renovation and repositioning of the Arizona Biltmore Hotel and Resort, an historically significant hotel was transformed from obsolescence to a real estate opportunity. Originally built in 1929, the 500-room resort, located in Phoenix, Arizona, is widely recognized for its architectural design and detail. Frank Lloyd Wright played a valuable role in the resort's original design and development, serving as the consulting architect during the property's initial construction. Over the years, however, the property lost much of its luster, becoming physically dated and lacking in the level of services and amenities required in an increasingly competitive luxury hotel and resort marketplace. The resort was acquired for $61.5 million in June 1992 by the principals of the Grossman Company Properties (GCP). To reposition the underperforming property, GCP devised a strategy that successfully combined value-added rehabilitation and refurbishment, new construction, and strengthened management and marketing.

  • Save the Date Wright & Like 2012
    VOLUME 17 ISSUE 1 FEBRUARY 2012 n NEWSLETTER OF FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT® WISCONSIN n SC Johnson Conserves FLLW Artifacts by Mark Hertzberg Seventy-five years after H. F. Johnson, Jr. met Frank Lloyd Wright and hired him to design his company’s new office building, Johnson’s grandson Fisk and the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation have announced a 99-year loan agreement between SC Johnson and the Foundation for 60 artifacts from the Foundation’s archives. The loan grew out of discussions after the Foundation applied for a grant from the SC Johnson Fund for a fire suppression system for the archives at Taliesin West in Scottsdale, Arizona and explored ways to raise money for a building to house the archives. Last year Wright bloggers expressed concern about rumors that the archives might be sold to private interests and no longer be accessible to researchers. The Johnson loan agreement not only helps ensure the preservation of the artifacts, some of which are not stored in optimal conditions, but also makes them available to the public. SC Johnson will conserve the artifacts including china, a hanging lamp and windows from the Heath House in Frank Lloyd Wright and H. F. Johnson, Jr. Buffalo (1905), a wooden armchair from Taliesin West Photo Credit: Courtesy SC Johnson (1946), a slant-back dining room chair from the Hillside outside the SC Johnson Research Tower.
