Since many of our members are not on-line as yet,we print a smattering of our current materials featuring work by Fellow Richard Keding as a sample. Keding who lives in Santa Rosa, was born and grew up in Oak Park, Illinois. He was inspired to apprenticeship with Wright through early familiarity with the houses on the streets of Oak Park. His view is that Organic Architecture is not at all related to that of the past, and is concerned not with composition but with interrelationships. It generates fluid forms and assymetrical arrangements that create possibilities not yet fully explored in architecture.. He was apprenticed at Taliesin 1958-60; 63-70.

    FOR RELEASE ON: February 12, 2015 Contact: Mary F. Roberts, Executive Director Martin House Restoration Corporation 716-856-3858 (office) 716-440-6250 (cell) MARTIN HOUSE ANNOUNCES SPRING TRIP TO FALLINGWATER The Martin House Restoration Corporation is offering a weekend travel package to Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater and Kentuck Knob in Pennsylvania on June 6-7, 2015. This package includes one night’s accommodations at the Omni William Penn in downtown Pittsburgh, motor coach transportation, tours, lunch and gratuities, and a reception at the Omni featuring a lively conversation with Fallingwater’s Director of Preservation. Fallingwater is the home that Wright designed for Pittsburgh retail mogul Edgar J. Kaufmann and his family as a mountain retreat. Perched over a cascading stream, this is one of Wright’s most iconic masterpieces. Neighboring Kentuck Knob is a signature example of Wright’s Usonian style of architecture. Appearing to grow out of a hill, this one-story residence is designed on a hexagonal module and constructed from native sandstone and Tidewater red cypress blending seamlessly within the natural surroundings. The Pittsburgh metropolitan area is also home to a number of buildings conceived by two of Wright’s Taliesin Fellowship apprentices, Cornelia Brierly and Peter Berndtson. This excursion will include an insider’s tour of a selection of private residences designed by these two pioneering architects. The price per person is: $495/$460 members (double occupancy) and $585/$550 members (single occupancy). For information and reservations, please call 716-856-3858 or visit www.darwinmartinhouse.org. ABOUT THE MARTIN HOUSE COMPLEX The Martin House Complex, designed and built from 1903-05, is considered by Wright scholars to be a significant turning point in the evolution of the Prairie house concept.

  • Taliesin West: Wright Apprentices Celebrate 75 Years
    Taliesin West: Wright Apprentices Celebrate 75 Years Written by Written by David M. Brown “Come when the spirit moves.” —Frank Lloyd Wright to apprentice Cornelia Brierly, 1934 Frank Lloyd Wright with (left to right) Bob Beharka, Mark Heyman, Jim Pfefferkorn, Kenn Lockhart, Eric Lloyd Wright, Joe Fabris, Tom Casey, Jack Howe and Arnold Roy, circa 1950’s, at Taliesin West. If they come, we will build it. And they did: In 1937, 20-plus Frank Lloyd Wright apprentices began construction of Taliesin West in the foothills of the Sonoran Desert in now-Scottsdale. Later, apprentices would add to the great architect’s winter home and school as part of their learning experience with him until his death in April 1959. The 555-acre campus became a National Historic Landmark in 1982 and this year celebrates 75 years. In two years, it will be considered for World Heritage Site status. In winter 1934/35, Wright and crew had caravanned West from Taliesin, his home, architectural studio and school in Spring Green, Wis. Here, in the 20’s, he had consulted on the Biltmore Hotel in what is now Phoenix as well as in Chandler, working with city-founder, Dr. A.J. Chandler, on plans for the San-Marcos-in-the-Desert hotel—scrapped by the 1929 crash. At least in Arizona, there was opportunity for study, work —and warmth. “It was a terrible winter in Wisconsin in 1934,” says Cornelia Brierly, 99, then a first-year apprentice at the Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture, founded two years earlier at Taliesin, Wright’s Wisconsin home and studio.

  • 1982 Organic Vision:The Architecture of Peter Berndtson. by Donald
    1982 BOOK REVIEWS 69 Organic Vision:The Architecture of Peter Berndtson. By Donald Miller and Aaron Sheon. (Pittsburgh: The Hexagon Press, 1980. Pp. 80. List of donors, acknowledgments, photographic credits, notes, checklist of Peter Berndtson's projects, 1942-1972. $12.00.) In the annals of Pittsburgh architecture, the name of Peter Berndtson (1909-1972) occupies a prominent place as one who has made notable contributions to the landscape of the city and the sur- rounding countryside. A distinguished disciple of the great American architect Frank Lloyd Wright (1869-1959), Peter Berndtson was well known and much appreciated by a discriminating group of his friends, many of —whom were also clients.— Berndtson specialized in designing houses places for living where he could apply and adapt the Organic and Usonian principles that he learned from Wright. As one of the authors of this memorial volume, Aaron Sheon, states in his conclusion, "A great architect's work is, in the best of cases, more than the sum of his buildings. Continually inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright's ideals, Peter sought to build homes that pro- vided much more than shelter. He sought an architecture that would enhance and enrich people's lives. He never lost sight of this idealism in his buildings" (p. 77). Wright's principle of organic architecture was central to his philosophy and practice, as it was also to Berndtson's. In his theory the house grows out of the land, and by allying itself with nature becomes part of its environment. Most educated Americans today are used to the concept of Wright's organic house :the long, low lines, the low-pitched —or flat overhanging roof,— with walls of brick or stone or wood all natural materials and much glass to let natural light penetrate the interiors.

Interpreting Midway Barn: Understanding Frank Lloyd Wright's Agrarian Vision Abstract At first glance, Midway Barn in Spring Green, Wisconsin presents itself as another example of Frank Lloyd Wright’s distinctive, if evolving style, its horizontal massing, tilted roof planes, and natural materials echoing the hilly landscape of the farm and its environs. Analysis of the documentary record and a range of sources on Wright’s life and thought, however, points to a richer story. Part of Wright’s larger campaign to reclaim his hometown landscape after his return to the Jones Valley, Midway Barn reflects his desire to reenact the agrarian lessons learned in his youth through the Taliesin Fellowship. Viewed in this way, Midway Barn offers insight not only into the architect’s biography but also into his complicated and sometimes contradictory relationship to “rural” values, materials, and ways of life. It also allows us to compare the barn’s striking visual innovations to its more conventional program and use, both of which were quite at home in the agricultural landscape of early 20th-century Wisconsin.

  • Historic Landmark Plaques 1968–2014
    CONTENTS Historic Landmark Plaque Criteria iii Other Plaque Designation Categories: v Local, State, and National Historic Landmark Plaque Recipients 1 Index 31 Membership Application 41 HISTORIC LANDMARK PLAQUE CRITERIA In 1968 , the Pittsburgh History & Landmarks Foundation (PHLF) began an Historic Landmark plaque program to identify architecturally significant structures and designed landscapes throughout Allegheny County . Beginning in 2010, PHLF expanded its Historic Landmark plaque program to include counties beyond Allegheny, especially if the applicant site has some connection to the Greater Pittsburgh region, e.g., property owned by a leading Pittsburgher or the work of a distinguished Pittsburgh architect. Since PHLF has extended its area of operation to within a 250-mile radius of Pittsburgh, it is logical to extend the reach of its plaque program also. Buildings, structures, districts, and landscapes may be approved for an Historic Landmark plaque if all of the following conditions are met: • they are remarkable pieces of architecture, engineering, construction, landscape design, or planning, or impart a rich sense of history; • alterations, additions, or deterioration have not substantially lessened their value in the above respects; • they are at least 50 years old and are located within 250 miles of Pittsburgh (which is PHLF’s area of service); • they are not located in historic districts bearing a plaque (unless of exceptional individual significance). If awarded, the handsome 18" by 12" plaque will be ordered by PHLF, but the owner must bear the cost and properly install it. Typically, bronze plaques cost around $425; aluminum plaques cost around $250. (continued) iii An Historic Landmark plaque identifies the site as a significant part of our local heritage; it will not protect a building from alteration or demolition.
