'Frank Lloyd Wright's Sense of Place'
Unlike Europe’s International Style, Wright’s architectural designs are site-specific. Ecologically ahead of their time, they exploit local materials and provide shelter from local weather. From Falling Water, a millionaire’s residential retreat in Pennsylvania, to affordable – even prefab – urban housing in Milwaukee, each construction is married to its unique setting. His all-on-one-level Prairie houses spread out over Mid-West farmland, while the ascending spiral ramp in the Guggenheim Museum in New York completely redefined gallery spaces. Not only are Wright’s buildings America’s icons of 20th century architecture, they also offer the key to novel solutions for the new millennium worldwide.
An American-born art historian and member of the College Arts Association, Deborah Jenner has resided in Paris since 1990. She has worked at the Ecole du Louvre, the Sorbonne, the Catholic Institute, and the British Council. Her Doctorate thesis proved non-western influences in Georgia O’Keeffe’s art. Deborah’s publications include catalogue essays for Musée d’Orsay and Centre Pompidou, scholarly papers and gallery critiques. She gives public talks, guided walks, museum tours, and study-abroad programs.
The title of the lecture is "Frank Lloyd Wright's Sense of Place".
This lecture looks at how each of this architect's designs is married to its unique setting.
Our Speaker from The Arts Society (UK) is DR DEBORAH JENNER.
