Frank Lloyd Wright: The Vertical Dimension
October 6, 2004 - January 9, 2005
The first comprehensive examination of the high-rise designs of America’s foremost architect, Frank Lloyd Wright: The Vertical Dimension, examines Wright’s abiding interest in the re-invention of the tall building. Over the course of his long career, Wright designed a dozen high-rise buildings of which only two were built--the Johnson Research Tower in Racine, Wisconsin (1944), and the Price Tower in Bartlesville, Oklahoma (1952-56). With these designs, Wright proposed a new structure for the skyscraper, challenged prevailing building practices with his use of materials, and proposed new directions in high-rise living.
