The Story of a Unique Arizona Fesing Firm. How does a team of Arizona architects manage to become involved with a highway construction project in Colorado? What can the followers of Frank Lloyd Wright contribute to the design of highway bridges and alignments of roadways? Actually, the basis for this kind of work for the architects and planners of Taliesin was established many years ago. Frank Lloyd Wright had written, "Imagine... highways of generous, safe width and always easy grade... roads now themselves great architecture... as they unite and separate, separate again and unite ... well-considered green covered cuts and fills healed by good planting of indigenous ground cover... Moving road-lines that are laid down sympathetic to terrain, threading hills and plains... curved roads always for curved country... the great open road made beautiful and safe for continually flowing traffic...” Includes twelve photographs.

Nestled atop a hilly, thick wooded area not far from New York City, is a circular steel, stone, glass and concrete house designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, dean of American architects.

Restoring Fountainhead. Brilliant in form and function but flawed in structure, a Frank Lloyd Wright house is renewed by a thoughtful and thorough architect.        When J. Willis Hughes was in college studying geology in 1930, he clipped an article out of the local newspaper in Austin, Tex. It was about a well-known architect, Frank Lloyd Wright, whose ideas on designing houses were unusual and impressive. Almost 20 years passed before Hughes sent Wright the clipping, along with a letter asking the architect to design a house for him and his family in Jackson, Miss. In this span of time Hughes had made a small Snyder, Tim fortune in oil speculation. Wright, at 81, was at the height of his fame. Although he was busy with plans for the Guggenheim Museum, he invited the Hughes family to visit him at Taliesin East, and agreed to design their house.        By October of 1949 the plans were ready, but the ups and downs of the oil business kept the house from completion until late in 1954. It received a lot of local publicity, and Wright and Mrs. Hughes christened the house Fountainhead, after Ayn Rand's just-published novel, which had been inspired by Wright's career.        Wright hadn't visited the site before drawing up plans for the house. This wasn't an unusual practice for him at the time, but in this case some study of Mississippi's highly expansive soil would have been in order... Includes 15 photographs and illustrations.

Description: Frank Lloyd Wright�s Berry-MacHarg House Revealed. Among the most elusive of Frank Lloyd Wright�s early works is the Berry-MacHarg house of 1891, believed to have been designed by Wright while working for Adler & Sullivan. The Berry-MacHarg house was for many years thought to be the first of Wright�s �bootleg� houses, those independent commissions undertaken by Wright while still employed by Adler & Sullivan. However, we can now say with certainty that it was an Adler & Sullivan commission which Wright later claimed as his own.        Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) was employed by Adler & Sullivan for approximately five years from early 1888 until June, 1893. During this time, he was assigned to work on several of the firm�s relatively few residential commissions, including summer houses for James Charnley and Louis Sullivan himself in Ocean Springs, Mississippi (1890), the principal residence of James Charnley in Chicago (1891), and a townhouse intended for Sullivan�s mother commissioned by his brother Albert Sullivan (1892). Like the Berry-MacHarg house, Wright later claimed each of these works as entirely or largely his own, although all were done for the firm under...        Includes two photographs and one illustrations.

Then they begin to look for your feet of clay, and everything you do is berated. But if you live long enough you become an old master.’ Then his eyes twinkled, ‘Now I am an Old Master.’ " Includes two illustrations, one from a portrait by Karsh. Original cover price 35c.
