The widescreen computer monitor matches the shape of DTV screens. The Intel/PBS experiment that rode the airwaves with Frank Lloyd Wright Originally published in Current , Dec. 7, 1998 By Steve Behrens If you were among a certain handful of people watching the Ken Burns/Lynn Novick bio Frank Lloyd Wright Nov. 10-11, you could get a whole lot more from the broadcast after it was over. Most people watching the two-night series saw only a stylized "E" icon appear briefly in the corner of the screen (with the disclosure "where available"), reminding viewers that the program was "enhanced." But there was more for viewers watching on specially equipped personal computers in the seven cities where public TV stations were putting out DTV signals. As participants in a technical trial by Intel Corp. and PBS, they could take a virtual tour of Wright buildings they had just seen in the film, rummage more broadly through talking-head comments, and go deeper into an interview with old man Wright himself. PBS is betting that "millions of Americans want to know more," as Executive Vice President John Hollar says.

Frank Lloyd Wright Biography of this influential architect from Prairie Styles. http://www.prairiestyles.com/wright.htm
Extractions: Wright worked for Silsbee for about a year before he left to take a better paying drafting job with Louis Sullivan and Dankmar Adler, who were working on the design of the Auditorium Theater in Chicago at the time. Wright referred to Sullivan as his Lieber Meister (beloved master) and was the only architect that Wright would acknowledge had an influence on him. The basis for Wright’s future work was born out of the idea and philosophy of Sullivan’s that "form follows function". He stayed with Adler and Sullivan until 1893 when a dispute over his acceptance of a growing number of independent commissions led Sullivan to fire him. In 1889, Wright met and married his first of three wives, Catherine Lee Clark Tobin. He also borrowed $5000 from his then employer, Louis Sullivan, to purchase a lot in Oak Park, Illinois and build his first house. Frank and Catherine raised six children together in the house that he used as an architectural laboratory, a building that saw many changes and additions as he developed his Prairie style of architecture. After leaving the employ of Adler and Sullivan, Wright opened his own office in the Schiller building in downtown Chicago, sharing space with Cecil Corwin. In 1894 he relocated his office to the 11

Extractions: A R C H I T E C T Bibliography Work Taliesin Years I was well primed for excitement when I discovered the work of Frank Lloyd Wright in my freshman year in architectural college. I caught fire. It seemed that this was what I had been unconsciously seeking. His lofty ideals of beauty and honesty, his sense of the interrelatedness of architecture with every other part of life, his concept of developing a building as an analogy to natural growth, his love of the land, and their embodiment in his extraordinary buildings became the focus of my aspirations and have remained a vital element ever since. The years at Taliesin [1939 -1942] immersed me in a totally creative environment where everyone contributed in many ways. Building went on all the time; so did music, theater, cooking, and gardening. It was an exhilarating time and the Taliesin ideal of a balanced life lived in a beautiful environment is with me still. In fairness, however, it should be said that Wright normally placed apprentices on rotating duty as construction supervisors in the field and this, when carried out, provided some of that needed experience in coping with the commercial jungle. In my case, World War II intervened before my time. From A Taliesin Legacy: The Architecture of the Apprentices of Frank Lloyd Wright by Tobias Guggenheimer.

Posters Buy This Art Print At AllPosters.com Frank Lloyd Wright (June 8, 1867 - April 9, 1959) was one of the most prominent architects of the first half of the 20th century. He was born in the agricultural town of Richland Center, Wisconsin, and brought up with strong Unitarian and transcendental principles. Wright commenced his formal education in 1885 at the University of Wisconsin School for Engineering, where he was a member of a fraternity, Phi Delta Theta. In 1887 he left school, and did not earn his degree from the University of Wisconsin until 1889. When he left school in 1887, Wright moved to Chicago and joined the architectural firm of Adler and Sullivan. Beginning in 1890 he was assigned all residential design work for the firm. He left after seven years, following an argument, and established his own practice in Chicago in 1893. He had completed around fifty projects by 1901. He was married to Olgivanna Hinzenberg (née Olgivanna Ivanovna Lazovich), who had been a student of G. I. Gurdjieff who came to visit the couple at Taliesin. The meeting of Gurdjieff and Wright is explored in Robert Lepage's

Extractions: Main About Us Weddings What We Offer ... Tour Information In April, 1940, Frank Lloyd Wright, world renowned architect, was commissioned to design a new building for the congregation after the burning of their building on Linwood Boulevard. Wright envisioned the entire property at 46 th and Main Streets being devoted to parking with the church building supported on graceful pillars, similar to the mushroom-shaped supports at the Johnson Wax Company office building in Racine, Wisconsin. Plans included a 1,000-seat auditorium with accommodations for a Sunday School of more than 700. Also included were a roof garden to be used for entertainment and other church functions, as well as a radical approach in construction of heating and cooling systems. Wright was considered a genius by some and was known for his complete departure from the ordinary. It was expected that the new church building would be no exception. The idea of air-conditioning for the building was met with much disfavor from Wright exclaiming "Ive gotten more colds in so-called air-conditioned buildings than any other place." He went on to explain that the building he envisioned would be comfortably cool in the summer and warm in the winter using a floor heating and cooling system. Wright presented his finished plans to the pertinent departments of the church in June, 1940. Parking for 150 cars was allowed; construction of the building would be of steel and rose-tinted concrete. A green copper dome would sit above the chancel area. Wright claimed the building would be "fireproof, earthquake, and vermin-proof" and upkeep would be virtually nil. Wright also claimed that "it is no mere church building, but a new order dated 10 years ahead of its time."
