Wright Design Series
Event Description:
The Wright Design Series was inspired by master architect Frank Lloyd Wright who, although known for his architectural designs, also created designs in furniture, clothing, textiles and tableware. The free lectures and discussions highlight a wide array of design topics including architecture.
March 5 Architect Spotlight: Wendy Evans Joseph, FAIA of Studio Joseph As the founding partner of the eponymous firm Studio Joseph, Wendy Evans Joseph searches for a timeless quality in her architecture that is unpretentious, pragmatic, and with an artistic eye to abstraction. Joseph?s talk will begin with the renovation of Frank Lloyd Wright's Price Tower in Bartlesville, Oklahoma and include various built and un-built projects ranging from a small picnic pavilion in Dallas to a renovation of campus buildings at Columbia University.
April 22 'Beyond the Walls of Public Television's Cool Spaces! The Best New Architecture' Stephen Chung, Host Cool Spaces! The Best New Architecture is a new series airing on public television that profiles the most provocative and innovative public space architecture in North America. Chung worked seven years to bring this show to television, with the ambition of increasing awareness of better designed, less costly, more sustainable and beautiful buildings.
May 14 'Marshall Erdman and 'Wrightification' in Madison? Anna Andrzejewski Professor, UW Madison Department of Art History By the mid-twentieth century, architects and builders drew upon Frank Lloyd Wright's aesthetics to the degree that a widespread trend emerged, which Andrzejewski calls 'Wrightification.' This presentation focuses on one Wrightifier, Marshall Erdman, and the ways in which he adopted and transformed elements from Wright's architecture in the postwar period. The speaker offers a fresh alternative to prevailing thought about postwar modernism and its supposed homogeneity.
