  • The Wright Genie
    the living legacy of Frank Lloyd Wright The Wright Genie A persistent belief on the “Arab Street” that the West is intent on erasing Islamic culture is the thesis of an intriguing article TALIESIN appearing some weeks ago in the Washington Post by staff writer Ken Ringle. FELLOWS Some researchers have discovered the little known pro- posals of Frank Lloyd Wright for recreating Baghdad as a glittering ® capital of Islamic culture which the master created two years be- NEWSLETTER fore his death in 1959. Wright’s schemes drew their inspiration from NUMBER 13, OCTOBER 2003 the ancient storied culture of Iraq rather than imposing western forms for the city’s rebirth. When the Iraqi Develop- ment Board in 1957 asked several leading Euro- pean architects including Germany’s Gropius, France’s Le Corbusier and Italy’s Gio Ponti and, according to Mina Marefat, a Rockefeller Fel- low in Islamic Studies at the Library of Congress, Wright was added almost as an afterthought. Rather than western architectural solu- tions Wright turned to the myths and historical background that once held Baghdad to be the center of a great civilization and culture. He Monument to Founder Hakoun al Rashid visited Baghdad in 1957 and evaluated the site being offered for a new opera house under the aegis of King Faisal II. Dissatisfied with the site being offered Wright chose an island site in the Tigris river, and further expanded his proposal to include a civic auditorium, a park with foun- tains and waterfalls, a parking structure in ziggurat form, museums, a casino, and an en- tire university complex.
