Brown metal, deferred from the 1953 metal day ceremonies, and presented June 4, 1954, in the lecture hall of The Franklin Institute. 1) "Mr. Sellers: Mr. President., I present Frank Lloyd Wright for an award. Our candidate is without question the dean of American Architecture. His influence on the architectural thought of our times has been great and far reaching, both in this country and abroad. His career is unmatched, extending over a period of sixty years and still going on. Mr. Wright has always insisted on a return to true basic architectural principles..." Acceptance speech delivered by Mr. Wright, on the location of the award of the Frank P. Brown metal to him, June 4, 1954, in the lecture hall of the Franklin Institute. 2) American Architecture. Ladies and gentlemen: this is a serious occasion. I was blamed for recently excepting, with lightness, and, I thought, some Grace -- a similar honor from the American Institute of Art and Letters. The comment upon the reception of the metal at that time was that mine was a cranky and cocky acceptance. I am not cranking now and I am not cocky. I am seriously gratified to have Science thus recognize one in the field of art, which is, after all, rather low down at this time in the history of our world..." Two copies.

According to Bruce Brooks Pfeiffer, "Frank Lloyd Wright wrote a series of 12 short stories, beginning in 1931 with the title "The Man Who..." These quizzical and whimsical writings are unexpected of Wright. Along with their irony and sometimes strangely twisted humor, however, they each carrier a characteristic message. The importance or pertinence of the messages vary as the stories themselves do. Some were published in Madison, Wisconsin, newspapers and in Cornet Magazine. But most of them are published here for the first time." Frank Lloyd Wright Collected Writings, Volume 3, 1993, p.250-264.

The color red bore a special significance for Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959), to him it was the color of creation. In a 1938 edition of Architectural Forum dedicated especially to Wright, a quote from the plant physiologist Timiriazev poetically gave it meaning: "The color red is invincible. It is the color not only of the blood – it is the color of creation. It is the only life-giving color in nature filling the sprouting plant with life and giving warmth to everything in creation."        Figure I shows the symbol Wright originally used to sign his architectural drawings when he first began independent practice: a red square circumscribing an encircled crossing. A closer look reveals two distinct parts: a central cross and a circle inscribed within a perfect square connected at the cardinal directions. This red square is related to the fundamental "Gothic Master Diagram" or circle of orientation, which through shadow casting was the first mark the ancients made when orienting a building plan on a site with respect to the sun. The divine coordinating principle used was geomancy, which is derived from the Greek words geo, literally meaning the earth, and manteia, meaning...        Includes 14 photographs and illustrations.

Glen Allen, VA) Author: Sandefur, Timothy Description: Frank Lloyd Wright: Rebel Architect. The story goes that Frank Lloyd Wright was once summoned to testify in a lawsuit. When he took the witness stand, a lawyer asked what his occupation was. He answered, "I am the world's greatest architect." Afterwards, his embarrassed wife told him he should be more modest. "You forget," he replied. "I was under oath."        The remark was characteristic of Wright's sly sense of humor, but he wasn't really joking. He knew that in a career lasting some seventy years, he had transformed the practice of architecture. But he did something else, too: He established an aesthetic style so distinctively American that he may be not just the country's greatest architect but its greatest visual artist of all time. Like the paintings of George Caleb Bingham, Thomas Moran, or Norman Rockwell, the buildings of Frank Lloyd Wright are not just strikingly successful artworks but successful in a specifically American way. They resonate because they ineffably express a sense of life steeped in the country's most characteristic values: individuality, privacy, ambition, and tranquility.        Part of that resonance is attributable to Wright's personality, which had both positive and negative elements. He blended the spiritual individualism of Walt Whitman or Ralph Waldo Emerson with the showbiz phoniness of a Mark Twain con man.? If Wright's virtues reflected his nation's culture, so did his vices...        Includes 33 photographs. Original cover price $19.95.

During the current critical assault upon modern architecture the complaint is frequently made that architects have ignored the needs of the people who use their buildings, and have instead impose their own style and concept of society upon frequently unwilling recipients . This is certainly the opinion of Herbert Muschamp, who in his "Man About Town" discusses Frank Lloyd Wright's stay in New York during the 1920s and concludes with a long section on the role of Wright and others in the often uncomfortable relationship between the creative architect and the urban environment..."

Author: Domer, Dennis     Description: 1) "Frank Lloyd Wright’s Allen House. Situated in splendid isolation on the Kansas prairie far from its siblings, Frank Lloyd Wright's Allen house has gone virtually unnoticed by architectural historians. The house was erected in Wichita, Kansas, and removed from its major locus of Wright’s prairie residences in the Chicago suburb of Oak Park and elsewhere in Illinois: one must undertake a pilgrimage to see Wright’s last Prairie residence. Not only is the Allen House isolated geographically, but it is separated chronologically from Wright’s Prairie residences, having been designed long after he ceased his Oak Park practice and returned from his two-year European sojourn in 1911..." Includes five photographs of the Allen House. Description:  2) "Out of the Nature of Things: Alfred Caldwell’s Idea of the Organic At Eagle Point Park. In the late 1920s Alfred Caldwel visited Frank Lloyd Wright in his exile in central Wisconsin. On the recommendation of Jens Jansen, Wright had consented to see the young landscape architect, "if he didn't talk too much." Through this memorable first experience and several subsequent trips to see the master at Taliesin, including one in which he said he read his poetry to Mr. Wright, Caldwell became well acquainted with Wright’s idea of the organic. He saw how Taliesin spreads like lava around the brow of the hill, how the building’s stones lie one upon the other as if only the focus of geology had touched them, how the broad, low eaves of Hillside School, like the limbs off the tree, cantilever to receive the big oak and roll around it. He saw how the architect had designed all aspects of his house from a single generative idea that provided a multitude of interrelated forms..." Includes six photographs of the Eagle Point Park.
