FALLINGWATERONE OF FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT’S MOST FAMOUS DESIGNS

MODERN TRADITIONDESIGN SOLUTIONS FOR EVERY HOME

FALL 2011 EDITION

Originally from Massachusetts, William Wright had been a Baptist minister but he later joined his wife’s family in the Unitarian faith. Anna was a member of the large, prosperous and well-known Lloyd Jones family of Unitarians, who had emigrated from Wales to Spring Green, Wisconsin. Both of Wright’s par-ents were strong-willed individuals with idiosyncratic interests that they passed on to him. In his biography his mother declared, when she was expecting her fi rst child, that he would grow up to build beautiful buildings. She decorated his nursery with engravings of English cathedrals torn from a periodical to en-courage the infant’s ambition. The family moved to Weymouth, Massachusetts in 1870 for William to minister a small con-gregation. Later in his life and well after his death in 1959, Wright received much honorary recognition for his lifetime achievements.

nFrank Lloyd Wright (born Frank Lincoln Wright, June 8, 1867 – April 9, 1959) was an American architect,

interior designer, writer and educator, who designed more than 1,000 projects, which resulted in more than 500 com-pleted works.Wright promoted organic architecture (exemplifi ed by Fallingwa-ter), was a leader of the Prairie School movement of architecture (exemplifi ed by the Robie House and the Westcott House), and developed the concept of the Usonian home (exemplifi ed by the Rosenbaum House). His work includes original and innovative examples of many different building types, including offi ces, churches, schools, skyscrapers, hotels, and museums. Wright also often designed many of the interior elements of his buildings, such as the furniture and stained glass. Wright authored 20 books and many articles, and was a popular lecturer in the United States and in Europe. His colorful personal life often made head-lines, most notably for the 1914 fi re and murders at his Taliesin studio.Already well-known during his lifetime, Wright was recognized in 1991 by the American Institute of Architects as “the greatest American architect of all time”. Frank Lloyd Wright was born in the farming town of Richland Center, Wisconsin, United States, in 1867. Originally named Frank Lincoln Wright, he changed his name after his parents’ divorce to honor his mother’s Welsh family, the Lloyd Joneses. His father, William Carey Wright (1825–1904) was a locally admired orator, music teacher, occasional lawyer and itinerant minister. William Wright had met and married Anna Lloyd Jones (1838/39 – 1923), a county school teacher, the previous year when he was employed as the superin-tendent of schools for Richland County.

He received honorary degrees from several universities (in-cluding his “alma mater”, the University of Wisconsin) and several nations named him as an honorary board member to their national academies of art and/or architecture. In 2000, Fallingwa-ter was named “The Building of the 20th century” in an unsci-entifi c “Top-Ten” poll taken by members attending the AIA an-nual convention in Philadelphia. On that list, Wright was listed along with many of the USA’s other greatest architects includ-ing Eero Saarinen, I.M. Pei, Louis Kahn, Phillip Johnson and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, and he was the only architect who had more than one building on the list. The other three buildings were the Guggenheim Museum, the Frederick C. Robie House and the Johnson Wax Building.

In 1992, The Madison Opera in Madison, Wisconsin commissioned and premiered the opera Shining Brow, by composer Daron Hagen and librettist Paul Muldoon based on events early in Wright’s life. The work has since received numerous revivals. In 2000, Work Song: Three Views of Frank Lloyd Wright, a play based on the relationship between the personal and working aspects of Wright’s life, debuted at the Milwau-kee Repertory Theater.

Many thoughts come when it comes to art. Some are con-

sidered high class, while others are considered just “nusances”, especially when these nusances are displayed on public walls, freeway signs, or just about anywhere. What is considered art? Who amongst us defi nes it and what is it about street art that makes it distasteful and undesirable to society? “I never really thought about it,” said Adriana Rodriguez, a 51-year old mother of three children, who grew up in the heart of Los Angeles. “Yet now that I do, I really don’t like it. I mean, I grew up with it around me, especially with my brothers hanging around gang members in the past, but I never liked it. It looks ugly and makes our town look trashy.” Yet others take on a different out look on graffi ti. Writing on walls with

a spray cans, markers or any kind of tool that produces marks on public areas has been around for decades. Whether to send a message to the world at large, or to show ones artistic ability, there are many controversies surround-ing the graffi ti world. “I like how some of it looks on the walls,” says Ryan Atherton, a Califor-nia native who also grew up in an area fi lled with graffi ti. “It really depends on how it looks when you pass it by. Like some of it doesn’t appeal to me, where the writings are not artistic looking, or looks like a bunch of scribbles. But if you pass by a wall where there’s some scribbles and a visual that looks like a painting, that’s impressive.” Ofcourse, there’s always a differ-ence in opinion that can sharply con-trast with the old and new generations of Los Angeles natives.

Whether against graffi ti in general or not, it is certain that this type of culture will be around for a very long time. From tags on trains to painted beauti-ful masterpieces created on walls, there will always be someone who’s willing to create it or destroy it. Some say it wrecks our community, leaving a distasteful thought of high crime happening in ones so-ciety where this type of culture dwells. Others see it as self-expression. An outlet for graffi ti artists that some people can’t or choose not to understand. No matter what culture one is from, or how many times a clean-up crew “erases” graffi ti tags, there’s always going to be another graffi ti artist waiting around the corner for the opportunity, with a spray can in hishand.

(Continued from page 13) Priscilla, a 31-year-old school teacher in the Los Angeles district, is crossed between like and dislike for the graffi ti world. “It’s all in the eye of the beholder so call it what you want,” says Priscilla. “Like the ones at Venice beach or on 50th and Crenshaw are amazing. But the writings on the freeway or on neighborhood look tacky or trashy.” “I don’t mind it and I don’t actually pay any attention to it,” says Jose, a college student at a local university in Los Angeles. “I mean, who cares. It’s not leaving, and police and clean-up crew could try to stop it, but growing up here in LA, you see it everywhere. It comes and goes, but it will always be around, like cockroaches.”

“It’s all in the eye of the beholder so call it what you want.”
