University of Miami School of Architecture show: Frank lloyd Wright's Florida Southern College
The University of Miami School of Architecture hosted my show of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Florida Southern College and runs through October 11th. This is the second stop for this particular show, the first being at Charles Cowles Gallery in New York over the summer and other photos from the series being included in the vast Frank Lloyd Wright: From within outward show both at the Guggenheim in New York and upcoming on October 22nd, the Guggenheim in Bilbao.
The Gallery and adjacent lecture hall were designed by Architect Leon Krier and make for a very functional dual purpose facility. The lecture hall next door was a delight to give a lecture in and it was great to have the exhibition reception immediately after in the gallery. The photos are 30 X 40 and were sponsored by the world monuments fund who placed Florida Southern College on their 2008 watch list. The show asks the question…if we lose our cultural heritage, where do we find our bearings? Preserving fine Architecture from the past enables us to clearly see where we have been and points the direction forward. Wright’s philosophy of Organic Architecture has never been so prescient as it is now and his fusion of Nature and Architecture are powerful forces that can shape the world to come in a very positive and healthy environmental direction.
