WRIGHT LECTURE SERIES

Film: "Magnificent Obsession: Frank Lloyd Wright's Buildings and Legacy in Japan"
Presented by Filmmakers Karen Severns and Koichi Mori
The 20th century's greatest architect was deeply indebted to Japan for its aesthetic inspirations.
This richly detailed film illuminates, for the first time, how that debt was repaid. For six tumultuous years,
Wright struggled to complete the enormous commission in Tokyo that would help turn his career around.
He left behind that masterpiece and another, equally significant, legacy: his transformative effect on
the men who had shared his struggle, and who kept his spirit alive through ensuing generations. |

"The Cloister"
Presented by Stanley Tigerman, FAIA
A Chicago native, Stanley Tigerman has designed numerous buildings and installations throughout the United States
and overseas in places like Great Britain, Italy, Japan, Spain, Yugoslavia, and Bangladesh. An emerging pattern
in Tigerman's architectural production is the budding presence of a cloister, a secluded place which usually takes
the form of a covered passage on the side of a court usually having one side walled and the other an open arcade
or colonnade. From the 10th century forward, the cloister has represented a way in which people of faith could seek
their own unique relationship to a divine being. In the 21st century, Tigerman has expanded the purpose of the cloister
to embrace a secular as well as a theological realm. His presentation will focus on 12 such projects. |
