ONLINE: Frank Lloyd Wright has been called the greatest American architect of all time. He often said so himself. He compared himself to Michelangelo. He was a romantic intellectual who was opinionated, eccentric and arrogant. He was an author, philosopher, teacher and lover of fast cars, custom-made clothes and intelligent women. His legacy, beyond architecture, includes films, plays and books. His designs grace toys, clothing, neckties and tableware. Movies, commercials and music videos are filmed in his buildings. This course will focus on Wright's colorful life and his philosophy of organic architecture. We will review how his architecture connects us to nature. We will learn how to focus on our own experience of the built environment and how to appreciate innovative architecture and its connection to our life and to our communities. Slides, videos and discussions will highlight his designs of homes, churches and civic buildings, including Fallingwater and the Guggenheim Museum. | Lecture + Q&A.
