Frank Lloyd Wright i s America's greatest-ever architect. However, few people kn ow a bout the Welsh roots that s haped his life and world-f amous buildings. Now, l eading Welsh architect Jonathan Adams sets off acr oss America to explore F rank Llo yd Wright 9;s masterpieces for himself. Al ong the way, he uncovers t he tempestu ous life story of the man behind the m and the signif icance of his radical family back ground . In a career spannin g seven dec ades, Frank Lloyd W right bu ilt over 500 buildings, and changed the face of modern architecture: Fa llingwater, the house over the waterfall , ha s been c alled the greatest house of the 20th centu ry; the spira lling Gug genheim Museum in New York reinvent ed the art museum; the concrete Unit y Temple was t he first truly mode rn building in the world . But the underlying philosophy that l inks all Wright 's buildings is as important as anything he built. Those ideas were rooted in th e Unit arian religion of Fran k Lloyd Wrig ht39;s mother. Anna Lloyd Jones was born and raised near Lland ysul in west Wales and migrated t o America with her family in 1844, most like ly to es cape relig ious persecution . Her son, Frank, was raised i n a Unitarian communi ty in Wisconsin, a small piece of Wales in America. The value s he absorbe d there were based on the sanctity of nat ure, the importance of hard wo rk, and the need t o qu estion convention and d efy it where necessary. Wright' s ar chit ecture was shape d by, and expres sed, these beliefs . Frank Ll oyd Wright set o ut to create a new American architecture for a new countr y. He built his own lifelong home in the v alley h e was raised in, a nd he named it aft er an ancien t We lsh ba rd called Taliesin. It was t he s cene of many adventures - and a hor rific crime. In 1914, a servant at Taliesin ran am ok and kille d seven people including Wrigh t's partner, Mamah Chen ey, and her two young chi ldren. Wright rebuilt his home and went on to m arry a Mont enegrin woman, Olgiv anna Milanoff, some 30 y ears younger than him. It was Olgivanna who struck u pon the idea that saved Wri ght's career afte r the Wall S treet Crash and personal sc andal laid it low. She decided that her husband should take on apprentices and that the apprentices should pay for the privilege. The Talies in Fellows hip had a hands-on approa ch, wit h apprentices often buildin g ex tensio ns to Wright' s own houses, labouring and cooking f or hi m. Somehow it worked , lasti ng for decades an d nurturing hundred s of young talents. Frank Lloyd Wrigh t died in 1959 aged 91 while worki ng on hi s fina l mast erpiece, New York's incompa rable Guggen heim Museum . He had been born in the wake of the American civil wa r, the son of a pionee r, and di ed a television celebrity, in the space age . He is buried in the shad ow of Talie sin, al ongside h is Welsh anc estors. A 150 years after his b irth, Jon athan Ad ams argues that Frank Lloyd W right is no w a vitally important fi gure who can teach us how to build for a better world. Wrig ht belie ved in what he c alled orga nic architecture; buil dings tha t grace the landscape, express an idea of ho w to li ve and res pond to indi vidual needs. This bespoke approach - a philosophy, not a s tyle - puts him at the hear t of modern architectural thinking. 好半晌,他才放下玉简抬头看向陆灵蹊,“有这事。”他站 起来,走向另一边的玉架,从上面拿了一枚蓝玉制成的玉 佩,“当初主人 觉得,佐蒙人不会放过天渊七界飞升的一切生灵,但是人族寿元就那么多,人心复杂,他没办法因势力导,但是妖族 却可以。”
