  • 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.

  • AIA’S 150 Years of Service to the Profession and the Nation
    THE AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF ARCHITECTS IOWA CHAPTER Celebrating the Past, Designing the Future | 1857 - 2007 This year, the members of the American Institute of Architects mark the AIA’s 150 years of service to the profession and the nation. On February 23, 1857, thirteen architects met in an office in New York City to form what would become The American Institute of Architects. The group sought to create an architecture organization that would “promote the scientific and practical perfection of its members” and “elevate the standing of the profession.” Today, the AIA has more than 300 components in the United States and its territories, as well as in the United Kingdom, Continental Europe, and Hong Kong. This includes the Iowa Chapter of the American Institute of Architects, established in 1904 and headquartered in Des Moines. AIA members share a commitment to producing excellence in design and helping our state and our nation create better places to live, work, and play.

Over the past 17 years, a significant number of the pre-1950 structures in Johnson County have been surveyed by the Johnson County Museum. This survey is part of a larger project to document historic architectural resources in the state of Kansas, funded by a historic preservation survey grant from the National Park Service, United States Department of the Interior and administered by the Kansas State Historic Preservation Office. The purpose of this survey was to identify Johnson County’s historic architectural resources. The survey and resulting data will provide a basis for comprehensive preservation planning and for education about the county’s historic resources. As stated in the National Park Service’s Guidelines for Local Surveys, To make effective use of historic resources, to respect their value and extend their lives, it is necessary to integrate historic preservation into community planning.
