Arguably the greatest residential work of Architecture, Frank Lloyd Wright’s Masterwork is celebrating its seventy-fifth anniversary. Conceptualized by Wright for the Kaufmann family back in 1935, this weekend getaway, built over a waterfall, is the perfect synergy between nature and architecture.
“The union of powerful art and powerful nature into something beyond the sum of their separate powers deserves to be kept living.”— Edgar Kaufmann jr.

AIA Issues Statement to Congress on Introduction of Transportation Reauthorization Proposal |

AIA Urges Congress Not to Miss Opportunity to Revitalize Economy, Improve Safety
The American Institute of Architects (AIA) issued the following statement on the release of the transportation reauthorization proposal Thursday by House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Chairman John L. Mica (R-Fla.)
The statement should be attributed to AIA President Clark Manus, FAIA:
“Whenever architects are hired by clients to design projects, their primary goal is for the design to be cost effective while being long-lasting – by investing now and realizing the paybacks over time. This proposal may cost less than a fully funded transportation bill, but the long-term costs to our country by failing to invest in a 21st Century transportation system are far-reaching.”
“The cost just to maintain our transportation infrastructure in a good state outpaces even current federal funding. It will not help communities address the congestion challenges they face, or offer people more options in how they travel.
“This reauthorization bill should be a rare opportunity to help re-design our communities and transportation networks to help enable the U.S. to remain competitive. “We urge Congress to keep this goal in mind as negotiations continue on this much needed transportation bill.” |
