[.en] While the grandiosity of Fallingwater and elegance of Taliesin are recognized universally, Frank Lloyd Wright’s first foray into affordable housing is frequently overlooked. Although Wright began work on his American System-Built Homes (ASBH, 1911–17) with great energy, the project fell apart following wartime shortages and disputes between the architect and his developer. While continuing to advocate for the design of affordable small homes, Wright never spoke publicly of ASBH. As a result, the heritage of many Wright-designed homes was forgotten. When Nicholas and Angela Hayes became stewards of the unassuming Elizabeth Murphy House near Milwaukee, they began to unearth evidence that ultimately revealed a one-hundred-year-old fiasco fueled by competing ambitions and conflicting visions of America. The couple’s forensic pursuit of the truth untangled the ways Wright’s ASBH experiment led to the architect’s most productive, creative period. Frank Lloyd Wright’s Forgotten House includes a wealth of drawings and photographs, many of which have never been previously published. Historians, architecture buffs, and Wrightophiles alike will be fascinated by this untold history that fills a crucial gap in the architect’s oeuvre.

[.en] The ‘Tender Detail’ tells a story about the repression of sentimentality through architectural ornament. The protagonists are Louis H. Sullivan and Frank Lloyd Wright, two of the most important architects and designers of ornament in American history. Interweaving close readings of their architecture and writings with wide-ranging discussions about sexuality, gender, and philosophy, the book explores how both men worked to solve the problem of late nineteenth-century ornamentation. It suggests that their solutions, while widely different, were both intimately rooted in the tender emotions of sentimentality. Viewing ornament in this way reveals much, not only about Sullivan and Wright's artistic intentions, but also about the role of affect, the value of beauty, and the agency and ontology of objects. Illuminated by personal stories from their respective autobiographies, which add a level of human interest unusual in an academic work, The Tender Detail is a readable, scholarly study which sheds fresh light on Sullivan and Wright's relationship, their work, and on the nature of ornament itself.

[.es] Frank Lloyd Wright fue una de las grandes figuras de la arquitectura internacional del siglo XX, y su impacto en Argentina no podría subestimarse. Pero a diferencia de Le Corbusier, cuya presencia en Argentina ha sido extensamente estudiada, la recepción de Wright en el país todavía es un capítulo pendiente. La figura de Carlos Lange se presenta como una buena puerta de entrada para comenzar a subsanar aquel déficit. El presente artículo tiene un triple objetivo: indagar sobre las formas, medios y figuras a través de las cuales se produjo la recepción temprana de Wright en el país; analizar algunos proyectos de arquitectura doméstica realizados en sociedad con Luis Rébora, lo que permitirá precisar el lugar de Lange en el proceso de recepción del arquitecto norteamericano; por último, avanzar en una caracterización del campo disciplinar de la ciudad de Córdoba en la que se insertó Lange y también Rébora.

El presente artículo se propone abordar las contribuciones de Carlos Lange y Luis Rébora a la cultura arquitectónica de Córdoba a partir del análisis de sus casas particulares. Rosarinos de orígenes, ambos llegaron a Córdoba en diversos momentos de la década del cuarenta, logrando una exitosa inserción profesional en un campo disciplinar acotado y en proceso de consolidación. Uno de sus principales aportes fue la introducción de una novedosa concepción espacial, por lo menos para el contexto cordobés, en la que es posible identificar diferentes presupuestos que remiten a la arquitectura de Frank Lloyd Wright, de Le Corbusier y de Marcel Breuer. La clara referencia a la arquitectura de Wright en la casa de Lange sitúan a ambos -la casa y a Lange- como una de las primeras referencias al arquitecto norteamericano en el país, y los ubica en el marco más amplio de su recepción temprana.

[.en] A dazzling dual portrait of Frank Lloyd Wright and early twentieth-century New York, revealing the city’s role in establishing the career of America’s most famous architect. Frank Lloyd Wright (1867–1959) took his first major trip to New York in 1909, fleeing a failed marriage and artistic stagnation. He returned a decade later, his personal life and architectural career again in crisis. Booming 1920s New York served as a refuge, but it also challenged him and resurrected his career. The city connected Wright with important clients and commissions that would harness his creative energy and define his role in modern architecture, even as the stock market crash took its toll on his benefactors.

Wright denounced New York as an “unlivable prison” even as he reveled in its culture. The city became an urban foil for Wright’s work in the desert and in the “organic architecture” he promoted as an alternative to American Art Deco and the International Style. New York became a major protagonist at the end of Wright’s life, as he spent his final years at the Plaza Hotel working on the Guggenheim Museum, the building that would cement his legacy.

Anthony Alofsin has broken new ground by mining the recently opened Wright archives held by Columbia University and the Museum of Modern Art. His foundational research provides a crucial and innovative understanding of Wright’s life, his career, and the conditions that enabled his success. The result is at once a stunning biography and a glittering portrait of early twentieth-century Manhattan.

[.es] Un revelador estudio sobre el arte japones y su influencia en el nacimiento de la arquitectura contemporánea. En 1912 el arquitecto Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) publicó en Chicago un breve ensayo con el título ‘The Japanese Print: An Interpretation’ (‘La estampa japonesa: Una interpretación’). Para entonces ya era un prestigioso arquitecto y sus viajes, primero por Japón y después por Europa, fueron dejando un importante poso en su obra. En concreto, la cultura nipona le mostró una vía para desarrollar la relación entre la arquitectura, la geometría y la naturaleza. En pleno proceso de descubrimiento de los valores estéticos de este arte y dentro del influyente movimiento del Japonismo, esta obra muestra el interés de Wright por el grabado popular japonés, en especial por los grandes paisajistas Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849) y Andō Hiroshige (1797-1858). Pero Wright no fue únicamente un aficionado a estas creaciones, sino también un verdadero estudioso y un sagaz vendedor profesional, importando más de veinte mil obras para los principales museos y coleccionistas de Estados Unidos. Este contacto tan directo con la estampa japonesa influyó decisivamente en el nacimiento de la arquitectura orgánica, como se desprende de ciertas ideas expresadas en este breve ensayo. Algunas de sus creaciones más famosas, como ‘La casa de la cascada’ (1936), ejemplifican bien las lecciones aprendidas de Japón. Frank Lloyd Wright vivió rodeado de estampas japonesas desde su juventud hasta su muerte, en 1959, ya consagrado como uno de los grandes genios de la arquitectura moderna.

Exploring a range of architectural, philosophical, and theoretical approaches, Treib investigates the site strategies of five prominent modern-period architects: Frank Lloyd Wright (1867–1959), Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (1886–1969), Richard Neutra (1892–1970), Alvar Aalto (1898–1976), and Luis Barragán (1902–1988).The character of the sites on which these architects worked dramatically affected their architecture and gardens, a fact illustrated by Wright’s “organic” regard of the desert; Mies’s evolving divorce of building from terrain; Neutra’s transformation of the “realities” of the site; Aalto’s use of the forest metaphor and interior landscapes; and Barragán’s architectonic conversion of the land. Fully illustrated with rarely published archival drawings and plans, accompanied by the author’s own exceptional photographs, this book presents the spectrum of architectural responses to the constraints of site, climate, client, program, building material, region, and nation. Taken as a group, the work of these five architects sheds important light on the consideration and influence of the site and landscape on the practice of architecture during the 20th century.

Frank Lloyd Wright (1867–1959) often spent time in San Francisco, which he called “the most charming city in America.” Paul V. Turner looks at the architect’s complex and evolving relationship with the city, surveying the full body of Wright’s work in the Bay Area—roughly thirty projects, a third of which were built. Spanning 1900 to 1959, they include houses, a gift shop, a civic center, a skyscraper, a church, an industrial building, a mortuary, and a bridge across the San Francisco Bay. The unbuilt structures are among Wright’s most innovative, and the diverse reasons for their failure counter long-held stereotypes about the architect.

Wright’s Bay Area projects are published together here for the first time, along with previously unpublished correspondence between Wright and his clients, as well as his Bay Area associate Aaron Green. Stories from San Francisco newspapers portray the media’s changing positions on Wright—from his early personal scandals to his later roles as eccentric provocateur and celebrated creative genius. Beautifully illustrated with the architect’s original drawings and plans, ‘Frank Lloyd Wright and San Francisco’ highlights aspects of the architect’s career that have never before been explored, inspiring a new understanding of Wright, his personal and client interactions, and his work.

«Pronto en la vida tuve que elegir entre la arrogancia honesta y la humildad hipócrita. Me decanté por la primera y no he observado razón para cambiar».

Durante su azarosa vida, marcada por cambios radicales y reveses de la fortuna, Frank Lloyd Wright buscó con perseverancia una imagen concreta de sí mismo y del mundo en el que quería vivir. Como pedagogo, dejó su impronta en muchos estudiantes; su culto a la personalidad se extendió a sus numerosos clientes, y sus aportaciones al diseño son motivo de controversia. Sus más de cuatrocientos edificios se veneran en la actualidad y su nombre sigue siendo muy conocido entre millones de personas.¿Quién es este hombre, tan conocido y, al mismo tiempo, tan difícil de conocer?

During the years 1919 into 1925 Frank Lloyd Wright worked on four houses and a kindergarten located in metropolitan Los Angeles using concrete blocks as the main building material. The construction system has been described by Wright and others as ‘uniquely molded’, ‘woven like a textile fabric’ and perceived as ground breaking, truly modern, unprecedented. Many have attempted to uphold these claims while some thought the house-designs borrowed from old exotic buildings.

For the first time this book brings together Wright’s declarations, the support of upholders and inferences in order to determine their accuracy and correctness, or the possibility of feigned or fictional stories. It examines technical developments of concrete blocks by Wright and others before his experiences in Los Angeles began in 1919. It also studies the manner of Wright’s design process by an examination of relevant pictorial and textual documents.

A unique, in-depth and critical analysis of the houses is set within historical, biographical and theoretical contexts. Consequently, the book explains the impact upon Wright of California contemporaries, architects Irving Gill and Rudolph Schindler, and their instrumentally profound role upon the course of modernism 1907-1923. In doing so, it allows a full appreciation of Wright’s, Gill’s and Schindler’s buildings beyond their experiential qualities.

An unsung prophet of today’s green movement in architecture, Frank Lloyd Wright was an innovator of eco-sensitive design generations ahead of his time. An architect and designer of far-reaching vision, it is not surprising that Frank Lloyd Wright anticipated many of the hallmarks of today’s green movement. Across his work—which stands upon a philosophy Wright termed "organic"—widespread evidence is seen of a refined sensitivity to environment, to social organization as impacted by buildings, and to sustainable and sensible use of space.

The desire to work and live with nature to create livable homes and cities is an ongoing theme of American architecture and planning. This book explores Wright’s lessons on how climate, sustainability, sunlight, modern technology, local materials, and passive environmental controls can become the inspiration for excellent design, and highlights a selection of Wright’s buildings to show how he dealt with these issues. The book is organized by the green concepts Wright used—including passive solar design and the use of thermal massing, passive berm insulation, environmentally sensitive landscaping, passive ventilation systems, passive natural light, and intelligent and artful adaptation of technology—with examples from different houses. It shows how Wright evolved certain ideas that continue to spur discussions of green architecture design today.

Alan Hess, an architect and architecture critic of the San Jose Mercury News, is the author of Casa Modernista and Frank Lloyd Wright: The Houses. Alan Weintraub is a widely published architectural photographer whose books include Frank Lloyd Wright: The Houses and Frank Lloyd Wright: American Master.

Reconstruir gráficamente un edificio como el Larkin de Frank Lloyd Wright nos permite trabajar en una de las múltiples finalidades del dibujo de arquitectura: traer al presente un edificio del pasado. La ultilización de medios informáticos para la realización de los dibujos, además de reconstruir gráficamente el edificio, facilita una paroximación al ambiente arquitectónico que tuvo lugar en él. Esta potente herramienta, utilizada correcta y convenientemente, nos ayudará a trabajar aspectos del proyecto de forma analítica y sistemática con un esfuerzo menor que el realizado manualmente.  De los primeros croquis realizados al proyecto final que más tarde se ejecutaría existen infinidad de dibujos que recogen intenciones, recapitulaciones, reconsideraciones y un sinfín de decisiones que se aproximan a la forma de trabajar en los trabajos que aquí se muestran
