Unitarian Meeting House, Madison WI, 1947-51

Frank Lloyd Wright is considered by many to be the greatest architect in American history.  His life was filled with great success, personal tragedy, and hundreds of structures still standing today.  This lecture will focus on his early career in Chicago, his passion for Japanese art and culture, the estate Taliesin he developed in Wisconsin, his struggles during the Great Depression, his apprenticeship program, and his most productive decade in the 1950s, when such important buildings as the Marin County Civic Center in California and the Guggenheim Museum in New York were designed and built.
