"Frank Lloyd Wright has had so many commentators recently, both competent and incompetent, that it is a pleasure to read what the man actually thinks himself. Having been ‘taken up’ by the young intelligentsia, his views have often been distorted by clever phraseology into theories which he himself would scarcely recognize... Regardless of the attitude which one holds in regard to Mr. Wright, the book will be found interesting by anyone who is all concerned with the development of architecture in this country."

Description: Excerpts from a speech by Frank Lloyd Wright to the Michigan Architectural Society. “Highlights. I believe that America is less bound by tradition than any great country in the world. But unfortunately, just the same, in this day of concrete there is a good deal of concrete placed where it does not belong. Notwithstanding that misplacement as misfortune I think that there is a great chance for the architect in America. America is a proving ground in which this new idealism, in which this organic architecture we've been talking about can be born...” (Sweeney 290)

Perhaps something gets to me like the sensations of the woman who longed for a child and, one day, found one gratuitously laid on her doorstep, only to discover the child to be a doll. In this instance, the hoax goes so far as to forge in this foundling on the doorstep a resemblance to myself. Let’s look at the doll..."

Description: Two Page Letter from Frank Lloyd Wright loosely inserted into the magazine. "To the Young Man in Architecture – a Challenge: I have taken over the writing and editing of the January Architectural Forum. I turned editor partly because Howard Myers came to Taliesin and asked me to – partly because I felt the time had come to restate a few fundamentals which are strangely missing from the contemporary scene. The days and nights and the long hours I have put into the making of this issue are important only to me. But important to you are the months and years that went into the making of these buildings whose plans and photographs this issue brings you for the first time with critical text... My purpose and hope in presenting this material in the Architectural Forum is to promote discussion and rekindle enthusiasm for an honest American Architecture..."

The first and last pages of the Wright section of the magazine is also printed in two color. The pages of Wright’s section is one color. But this letter is printed in three color and embossed.

If the house seems a little open for your Northwest, that openness has been taken care of by building the house upon a paved concrete mat itself heated by steam pipes laid under it in the gravel filling beneath. This insures comfort no matter how cold outside and there are no radiators in sight. What looks like them in the drawings are really the folding screens between the several paces opening into the central or general space -- a kind of enclosed patio..."

At home in the flat plains of the Middle-West, the architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright has markedly failed to stir the imagination of the big investors responsible for New York’s swank avenues.

At 34, Sullivan was recognized as one of the most brilliant designers in the country... Wright was 19; he had spent less than a year in an architect’s office.

Fundamental to Wright’s scheme was the notion that theater should be "in the round." (He may even have coined that phrase.)

Wright had sunk so much of himself into his building that he had lost all perspective. He refused to delegate the smallest decision, or to curb the pettiness and jealousy which consumed his staff. As a result the hotel opened one year behind schedule at a cost triple its original estimate – a total of 4 3/4 million, an unprecedented sum in those days for a 280 room hotel."
