Frank Lloyd Wright's Sustained Relevance

"Wright foresaw suburbia as America's future, but his vision scarcely resembled the sprawl that has engulfed the countryside during the past 60 years. He advocated using underground parking so that shops and offices would not be marooned in a sea of parked cars, integrating farmland into residential and commercial districts and incorporating the natural environment into the built environment. According to Roberts, Wright would reject today's McMansions as 'not only ugly, but inefficient. He was opposed to developers who obliterated nature and then tried to recreate it in an ugly fashion. Wright's model has tremendous value in today's world.'"

The exhibit is now open at the Milwaukee Art Museum.
