The Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation's Resilience in 2020 and Beyond Strength of Character and Clarity of Vision The Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation’s Resilience in 2020 and Beyond “According to our strength of character and our clarity of vision, we will endure, we will succeed, we will have contributed something to make life where we were and as we lived it, something a little better, brighter, and more beautiful.” —Frank Lloyd Wright Vision In the words of Frank Lloyd Wright, “to make life more beautiful, the world a better one for living in, and to give reason, rhyme, and meaning to life.” Mission The Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation inspires people to discover and embrace an architecture for better living through meaningful connections to nature, the arts, and each other.

Here at the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, we began 2020 with great expectations for celebrating our 80th anniversary and the addition of Taliesin and Taliesin West to the World Heritage list. But when the pandemic began last spring, Taliesin West was quickly closed to tours and events, and lost its primary revenue source at the most important time of the year. Taliesin Preservation, which operates public programs at Taliesin, also curtailed its operations over the summer, limiting its contributions to the Foundation for preservation. In total, we lost millions of dollars in revenue—money that we use for our public programs and for the preservation of these historic places. And yet, we continued to do our work to advance Wright’s legacy. In lieu of in-person visits, our team pivoted to digital platforms, bringing Wright’s work and ideas to tens of thousands of people during the most isolated months of our lifetimes. A global audience discovered meaningful connections to nature, the arts, and each other by examining Wright as an STUART GRAFF architect of ideas that make “the world a better one for living in,” and not just an architect PRESIDENT & CEO of buildings. Our online youth programs were taken up by children, teachers, and families, stimulating the next generation of creative problem solvers to think differently. We began to advance new partnerships in higher education at the Taliesin and Taliesin West campuses that will focus on design professionals and students—with programs set to begin this spring—to influence the evolution of architecture, design, and planning through the forward-thinking nature of Wright’s ideas. In mid-October, we welcomed visitors back to Taliesin West in reduced numbers to ensure a safe experience. We launched the first of several new programs with our “Guided by Wright” experience, providing a unique new way to understand Taliesin West through Wright’s own words and voice. Complementing this new program, we used the period of closure to restore many spaces to their appearance during Wright’s lifetime, and we made sensitive improvements to our grounds to better welcome visitors with mobility challenges. Financial pressures caused by the pandemic required us to do more with less—and because maintaining these historic properties is expensive even when we aren’t open to the public, we continued our work even in the face of ongoing losses. No expense went unchallenged. Sadly, we reduced our staff size, with many remaining staff members generously offeringluntary vo reductions in salaries. At the same time, we also initiated a number of efforts ot increase T.K. McCLINTOCK earned revenues, such as improving our retail presence online and advancing our licensing CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES program to develop ideas and products driven by our mission to bring more beauty into people’s lives. All of these efforts have shown what the Foundation is capable of achieving ni the toughest times, and the impact we can have on the way we build and live. Whether in person or online, we connect with people from all over the world to deliver thought-provoking experiences of Taliesin and Taliesin West, both of which embody ideas about how to build and live that are more relevant today than ever before. We hear the applause of audiences who join us for performances by acclaimed artists in our unique, historic theatres. We feel the joy of our communities as they return to our campuses and again experience the connection with nature achieved through Wright’s singular architectural vision, and bring that work into their lives every day. We will, in lasting ways, rise above the challenges that the pandemic has presented; but now more than ever, we need the ongoing support of our community of visitors, members, and friends who value Wright’s legacy. We thank you for your generosity, working with us to achieve Wright’s vision for his Foundation, “to make life more beautiful, the world a better one for living in, and to give reason, rhyme, and meaning to life.” In gratitude, Rising Above 4 Meaningful Connections as a Path Forward After tragedy struck Frank Lloyd Wright’s Taliesin home, the only path he could see was forward. He writes in his Autobiography, “I could feel now only in terms of rebuilding. I could get relief only by looking toward rebuilding.” This trait is a hallmark of Wright’s life; during good times and bad, he always looked ahead. During the most isolated months of our lifetimes, the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation found our way forward by exploring new technologies to stay connected, sharing Wright’s principles to inspire new ways to find meaningful connections to nature, the arts, and each other. Through this work, we brought the world in to a deeper exploration Wright’s legacy, highlighting Frank Lloyd Wright as more than an architect of buildings, but an architect of ideas that make “the world a better one for living in.” We quickly decided that the community we engaged online was not merely a way to cope during the pandemic, but our next path forward. And while we look forward to resuming a full slate of opportunities for onsite experiences, we intend to continue to engage a worldwide audience in our work post-pandemic. A Better, Brighter, and More Beautiful Future When the pandemic hit, and we began to understand the ways in which the world would change in 2020, we made a commitment: We would come out of this crisis a stronger, better Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation. We began by reviewing our Mission and Vision statements, to ensure they reflect the impact we have on the world. We use them to guide all of our work ensuring that every program, new and existing, is tailored to ensure it inspires people to discover and embrace an architecture for better living through meaningful connections to nature, the arts, and each other. True to the commitment we made, we are looking beyond the pandemic with new focus, new tools, and new opportunities to advance our mission. With your passion and support, we will work together to contribute “something a little better, brighter, and more beautiful” to make the world a better one for living in. Moving Forward 5 Here are some of the many programs, both online and off, we’ve developed to advance our mission and impact the world for years to come: Virtual Experiences of Taliesin & Taliesin West Exclusive Member Events We know the experience of Wright’s designs inspires Members of the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation are people to live happier and healthier lives, so we began the heart of our community, and while we had to to provide weekly live videos showcasing tour sites, pause some of our favorite events like Member Movie behind-the-scenes explorations of our two World Night, we created new ways to socialize with and Heritage sites, and a look inside our collections vaults. inform our members.

  • Justice Towards Animals Demands Veganism
    Justice Towards Animals Demands Veganism Gary Steiner Adapted from Gary Steiner, Animals and the Limits of Postmodernism: A Vegan Manifesto (Columbia University Press, forthcoming 2012). In November 2009, the Sunday immediately prior to the Thanksgiving holiday traditionally celebrated in the United States, I published an opinion piece in the New York Times entitled ‘Animal, Vegetable, Miserable’. ‘Animal, Vegetable, Miserable,’ New York Times, 22 November, 2009, ‘Week in Review’ 12. The traditional Thanksgiving meal is centred around turkey, and my aim in writing the opinion piece was to challenge the supposed moral legitimacy of the practice of killing and consuming animals such as turkeys. I went so far in the piece as to argue that consuming turkeys and other animals raised in ‘free range’ circumstances is in effect no better morally than consuming animals raised in traditional intensive factory farming circumstances—for, after all, in both cases we kill sentient creatures with lives that are meaningful to them just as our lives are meaningful to us, even if non-human animals such as turkeys cannot, as we humans can, reflect on the ways in which their lives are meaningful to them. I received a torrent of responses to my opinion piece, most of which were from people who were supportive of my views. A small but extremely vehement proportion of the responses was from individuals who excoriated me for my views, typically on the grounds that because many animals kill and eat animals, and because human beings are animals, it is therefore perfectly acceptable for human beings to eat non-human animals.

  • A Carnivore's Manifesto
    232 BETWEEN THE SPECIES Review of Eat This Book: A Carnivore’s Manifesto Dominique Lestel (translated by Gary Steiner) Columbia University Press, 2016 160 pages, paperback Angus Taylor University of Victoria (retired) Volume 23, Issue 1 Winter 2019 http://digitalcommons.calpoly.edu/bts/ 233 Angus Taylor The symbolism of meat-eating is never neutral. To himself, the meat-eater seems to be eating life. To the vegetarian, he seems to be eating death. There is a kind of gestalt-shift between the two positions which makes it hard to change, and hard to raise questions on the matter at all without becoming embattled. Mary Midgley (1983, 27) In Eat This Book: A Carnivore’s Manifesto, French philoso- pher Dominique Lestel sets out to demolish the fundamental claims of ethical vegetarianism (including veganism) and to propose as an alternative what he calls ethical carnivorism. The book is translated from the French by prominent animal-rights philosopher Gary Steiner. In his preface, Steiner—echoing a point made by John Stuart Mill in On Liberty—says, “The best way to test one’s own convictions is to open oneself completely to the challenge posed by one’s most strenuous critics or oppo- nents—to confront doubt rather than to seek to extinguish it...” (xv). Those interested in seeking truth, says Steiner, will pay attention to the challenge posed by this work. I fully agree with the general sentiment. That said, too much of this relatively short book strikes me as less a reasoned chal- lenge than a veritable “Gish gallop” of assertions, characteriza- tions, and questions aimed at ethical vegetarianism, tumbling over each other with little in the way of analysis or argument.

  • A Critique of Social Constructivist Excesses in Political Theory
    SITUATED ANIMALS: A CRITIQUE OF SOCIAL CONSTRUCTIVIST EXCESSES IN POLITICAL THEORY A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirement for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY By Alex Melonas May 2015 Committee: Heath Fogg-Davis (Chair), Department of Political Science, Temple University Jane Anna Gordon, Departments of Political Science and Africana Studies, University of Connecticut Kevin Arceneaux, Department of Political Science, Temple University Joseph M. Schwartz, Department of Political Science, Temple University Lewis R. Gordon (External Member), Departments of Philosophy and Africana Studies, University of Connecticut i ABSTRACT In this dissertation I explore the ramifications of political theory being freed from two opposed extremes of biologism and social constructivism because, ultimately, the human animal is both a biological creature and capable of becoming. While it has been highly significant for humanistic scholars to challenge the governing authority of the “hard sciences” as the prime site of legitimacy in modern scholarship, the position of critique has transformed into one of outright and unqualified hostility. I resist this commitment to show that work at the intersection of the human biological sciences and political theory need not amount to political conservatism or pessimism. To this end, I address two questions with the aim of (re-)situating the human animal as a common property in political theory. First, I explore and challenge the commitments that inform the strict social constructionist thesis. This move leads to a second consideration: what questions are open if we see the problem not as biology, but as biological determinism? I make four arguments in this dissertation.

  • An Evaluation of the Theory of Animal Right in Peter Singer
    International Journal of Scientific & Engineering Research Volume 9, Issue 9, September-2018 1394 ISSN 2229-5518 AN EVALUATION OF THE THEORY OF ANIMAL RIGHT IN PETER SINGER CHUKWUMA, JOSEPH NNAEMEKA And ELECHINGWUTA KINGSLEY OKECHUKWU ABSTRACT It is glaring that non-human animal have been exploited and annihilated in numerous ways by humans. This is a grave injustice that requires urgent retention and response, so as to protect animal rights and interest from oblivious mind. There are theories in the animal rights literature which have existed for some time now. Some against the protection of animal rights while some for the protection of animal rights. In line with the argument for the protection of animal rights, Peter singer an advocate for animal right protection argues in his book “Animal Liberation” that human should give equal consideration to the interest of animals when making decision to other species. He argued that the interests of every living being are the same. This work aims at examining and assessing the theory of animal rights in Peter singers. It sets out to clarify the absurdity that lovers around the protection of animal rights. This work adopts the philosophical method of analysis and evaluation. It exposes the historical origin of animal rights before the advent of Peter singer and even after him, Thereby using his thought to proffer possible end to the imminent sufferings caused by humans and animals. The only real way to protect animals is to assign them universal right under the theoretical concept of justice- observing animals right seriously means that by virtue of their existence (selfhood) and sentience they possess these right.
