A Dialogue 2017 a Landmark Year For Members of the Volume 43 : Issue 1 Winter – Spring 2017 Frank Lloyd Wright Trust Wright Angles: A DIALOGUE 2017 A LANDMARK YEAR From the President & CEO Celebration of the 150th anniversary of Frank Lloyd Wright’s birth resets the lens of history, persuading us to reconsider his artistic achievement on the international stage of modernism.

This year’s schedule of programs at the Trust includes enhanced returning events as well as new offerings. The Wright Plus 150 Housewalk embraces the immediate neighborhood encircling Wright’s Studio, the incubator of his ideas. Here he created the first uniquely American Sutra library, Chion-in Temple, Kyoto architecture and here it remains, exquisitely preserved along Frank Lloyd Wright, 1905 the surrounding tree-lined streets.

Robie House, Hyde Park | 6 to 8 pm Emil Bach House, Rogers Park | 4 to 7 pm Wright 150 Lecture and Dinner — June 8 Lecture: The Art of Life: Frank Lloyd Wright and the ‘Organic’ Nature of Japanese Art Lecture by Kevin Nute, author of Frank Lloyd Wright and Japan | Partnership with Art Institute of Chicago 6 pm | Fullerton Hall, Art Institute of Chicago | 111 S. Michigan Ave, Chicago Despite Frank Lloyd Wright’s frequent references to his ‘debt’ to Japanese art, its relationship to his own work remained largely a mystery throughout his long career. It had never been explained, for example, how in a matter of little more than a decade, this engineering student from rural Wisconsin had become an internationally respected connoisseur of Japanese woodblock prints, nor what such an obscure two-dimensional art form could possibly have to do with revolutionizing modern Western architecture. As this talk will demonstrate, a coincidental personal connection at a critical moment in Wright’s early career can effectively answer both of these questions. Kevin Nute is the author of Place, Time and Being in Japanese Architecture; John Yeon and the Landscape Arts of China and Japan; Vital: Using the Weather to Bring Buildings and Sustainability to Life; and Frank Lloyd Wright and Japan, which won the International Architectural Monograph Award from the American Institute of Architects. Wright 150 Celebration Dinner 7 – 9 pm | University Club of Chicago, 76 E.

  • How Did Frank Lloyd Wright Establish a New Canon of American
    “ The mother art is architecture. Without an architecture of our own we have no soul of our own civilization.” -Frank Lloyd Wright How did Frank Lloyd Wright establish a new canon of American architecture? Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) •Considered an architectural/artistic genius and THE best architect of last 125 years •Designed over 800 buildings •Known for ‘Prairie Style’ (really a movement!) architecture that influenced an entire group of architects •Believed in “architecture of democracy” •Created an “organic form of architecture” Prairie School The term "Prairie School" was coined by H. Allen Brooks, one of the first architectural historians to write extensively about these architects and their work. The Prairie school shared an embrace of handcrafting and craftsmanship as a reaction against the new assembly line, mass production manufacturing techniques, which they felt created inferior products and dehumanized workers. However, Wright believed that the use of the machine would help to create innovative architecture for all. From your architectural samples, what may we deduce about the elements of Wright’s work? Prairie School • Use of horizontal lines (thought to evoke native prairie landscape) • Based on geometric forms . Flat or hipped roofs with broad overhanging eaves . “Environmentally” set: elevations, overhangs oriented for ventilation . Windows grouped in horizontal bands called ribbon fenestration that used shifting light . Window to wall ratio affected exterior & interior . Overhangs & bays reach out to embrace . Integration with the landscape…Wright designed inside going out . Solid construction & indigenous materials (brick, wood, terracotta, stucco…natural materials) . Open continuous plan & spaces; use of dissolving walls, but connected spaces Prairie School •Designed & used “glass screens” that echoed natural forms •Created Usonian homes for the “masses” Frank Lloyd Wright, Darwin D.

Introduction The Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) was started in 1933 as one of the New Deal make-work programs, to employ jobless architects, draftspeople, and photographers. Its purpose is to document the nation’s architectural heritage, especially those buildings that are in danger of ruin or deliberate destruction. Today, the HABS is part of the National Park Service and its repository is in the Library of Congress, much of which is available online at loc.gov. Of the tens of thousands HABS buildings, I found 44 Frank Lloyd Wright designs that have been digitized. Each HABS survey includes photographs and/or drawings and/or a report. I’ve included here what the Library of Congress had–sometimes all three, sometimes two of the three, and sometimes just one. There might be a single photo or drawing, or, such as in the case of Florida Southern College (in volume two), over a hundred.
