Frank Lloyd Wright: Revolutionary Contributions to Modern Architecture
Program Number: 1885
Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater: The House and its History
A total revision of the standard document on Fallingwater, the boldest, most personal architectural statement of Wright's mature years. Updated with valuable new material from the recently opened Frank Lloyd Wright Archives, the book gives special emphasis to Fallingwater's architectural innovations. "Fascinating.": The New York Times. 116 illustrations.
The Architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright
Neil Levine's study of the architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright, beginning with his work in Oak Park in the late 1880s and culminating in the construction of the Guggenheim museum in New York and the Marin County Civic Center in the 1950s, if the first comprehensive and in-depth analysis of the architect's entire career since the opening of the Wright Archives over a decade ago. The most celebrated and prolific of modern architects, Wright built more than four hundred buildings and designed at least twice as many more. The characteristic features of his work--the open plan, dynamic space, fragmented volumes, natural materials, and integral structure--established the basic way that we think about modern architecture. For a general audience, this engaging book provides an introduction to Wright's remarkable accomplishments, as seen against the background of his eventful and often tragic life. For the architect or the architectural historian, it will be an important source of new insights into the development of Wright's whole body of work. It integrates biographical and historical material in a chronologically ordered framework that makes sense of his enormously varied career, and it provides over four hundred illustrations running parallel to the text.

We’ll gather in the Solarhouse for this morning’s presentation, entitled "Wright's Patrons and Projects" presented by the staff from Fallingwater, Frank Lloyd Wright's premier architectural masterpiece. We’ll have an in-depth look at the controversy that often surrounded Wright and his clients. It is said that one of Wright's clients, Edgar Kauffman, owner of Fallingwater, told the Hagans, owners of Kentuck Knob, that when giving Wright the budget for building their home they should quote no more than half of what they intended to spend in the end. Far exceeding his budget was one of many qualities that impacted Wright’s relationships with clients. Even amid controversies, ultimately it was Wright's vision that drew clients from across the country to him and catalyzed an amazing career, spanning two world wars and two continents.
Lunch:
Buffet style lunch in the Dining Hall
Afternoon:
We board our motorcoach to explore the world of organic architecture through the eyes of Frank Lloyd Wright while enjoying the scenic Laurel Highlands’ surroundings.

Wright created Usonians for everyday life in the 1950s. We will marvel at the fascinating story of preserving these two homes for future generations. We will return to Laurelville for a quick tour of some of the center's 600 acres on "The People mover," an open-air wagon ride.
Dinner:
Buffet style in the dining hall.
Evening:
Enjoy part one of a special showing of the Ken Burns documentary on Frank Lloyd Wright (approx 85 minutes). Film description: “Frank Lloyd Wright was was an authentic American genius, designing over eight hundred buildings, including such revolutionary structures as the Guggenheim Museum, the Johnson Wax Building, Fallingwater, Unity Temple, and Taliesin. Wright's buildings and his ideas changed the way we live, work, and see the world around us. Frank Lloyd Wright's architectural achievements were often overshadowed by the turbulence of his melodramatic life. In 92 years, he fathered seven children, married three times, and constantly embroiled scandal. Some hated him, some loved him, but in the end, few could deny that he was the most important architect in America and perhaps the world. With exquisite live cinematography, fascinating interviews, and rare archival footage, this riveting film brings Wright's unforgettable story to life.”

This was a very comprehensive program about Frank Lloyd Wright along with visits to 4 of his homes. I did realize that my architect father's design for our family home was inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright. I did appreciate meals, accommodations and local transportation being included.

I learned more than I thought I could about Frank Lloyd Wright. The chance to see the entire Falling Waters and Kentuck Knob rooms and the docent stories were special. The days were laid out well and I never felt overly rushed. If you have interest in FLW and his life and architecture this is a wonderful trip and is priced right.

The Frank Lloyd Wright program at the Laurelville Retreat Center is a do not miss opportunity to learn about this architect who changed our perspective about the places where we live. The talks that accompanied our tours made the program more interesting and informative. The folks at the retreat center were the most hospitable ever.
— Review left October 3, 2022
This was my favorite (of only three so far) program and of course, it was partly due to the subject matter of interest to me. Additionally, the thoroughness of material sent to participants, choice of sites visited, superb skills of the staff, Laurelville volunteers, and the toured sites' tour guides were absolutely top notch. Our occasional meals in nearby towns were immensely enjoyed by all.

Program was excellent. Very interesting and informative presentations and information provided. Enjoyed focusing on just one topic more in-depth. Rooms were subpar, Motel 6 would be a step up. Wi-fi could use improvement. Beautiful surroundings.

Road Scholar's Frank Lloyd Wright program does an excellent job of portraying the man in total, both his genius and his flaws. The diamond in the program is, of course, the tour of Fallingwater. I also especially enjoyed the tour of the Usonian homes at Polymath Park, the preview of the artwork at Fallingwater, and the amazing video of the conservation work required to prevent the collapse of Fallingwater's iconic terraces. EVERYBODY was warm and welcoming. Very much recommend this program.

The program offered for Fallingwater and other homes in the area was far beyond my expectations. I met some new friends who in will continue to keep in touch.

If you have ever heard of the architect , Frank Lloyd Wright,this program explains more about him , his buildings, his thoughts and the field trips to tour his homes tied it all up and more than one person said that they would look into gaining more information about him. Good program !!
— Review left September 27, 2019
This has to be the best way to see FLW's Falling Water, and three other FLW homes in the area. Trying to do this on your own would be very challenging, and take a lot of "research" regarding location, ticket, motels, meals, etc. And the education provided by staff of Falling Water adds so much to the experience, and couldn't be replicated on a self-devised trip.

This was my first Road Scholar trip and I highly recommend it. The staff at Laurelville went out of their way to keep us informed, and every detail was well planned and executed. I made new friends, enjoyed myself, and was delighted by the tours of the Frank Lloyd Wright homes. I look forward to my next adventure with Road Scholar.

Excellent program. I am very glad I did not just visit the homes on my own. This program gave me insights and experiences that so added to my education about and enjoyment of Fallingwater, Kentuck Knob, Duncan House, and Mantyla. Laurelville staff were very accommodating, food was tasty and healthy, and the facility comfortable and serene. I highly recommend this program.
