Dr. Hirsh does an outstanding job of presenting Frank Lloyd Wright's architecture in perspective of the times he lived and his philosophy form and function are the same.
This was the second seminar I took with Dr. Hirsch and throughly enjoyed the depth of the content matter. I am heading out to Talisman West so this was a real treat into understanding Wright's architecture.
A great overview of this great architect's work.
I will be visiting Illinois in September including some structures designed by FLW, and it was most helpful to learn so much about not just his buildings but his philosophy about architecture. Form doesn't follow function...form and function are one...I think I've operated on this concept much of the life already too...
