Wright Outside: Nature meets Design

In addition to being a world-famous architect, Frank Lloyd Wright was also involved with the landscape design at each of his buildings. Wright’s concept of organic architecture integrated design with the natural world. His buildings were site specific and used the surrounding environment to enhance the beauty of the buildings themselves.

A discussion with William Quam, author of Fire and Clay

Join "Chicago's premiere brick expert" Will Quam, author of Fire and Clay: How Bricks Reveal The Hidden History of Chicago, for a presentation and discussion on the history of brick in the work of Frank Lloyd Wright, Louis Sullivan, and their contemporaries. Rightfully celebrated as architectural innovators, Sullivan and Wright were also daring and boundary pushing in their use of brick, helping to break the simple brick rectangle out of the box.
