Based on the principle of decentralization, Wright advocated for the abandonment of the industrialized city in favor of an agrarian landscape where each individual would have access to his or her own acre of land. Wright's vision, which he called Broadacre City, was to be the fruit of modern technology directed towards its proper end - human freedom. Envisioning a society that would be technologically advanced in practice but agrarian in organization and values, Wright developed a proposal that embodied the conceptual polarity between nature and culture. This thesis critically examines Wright's resolution of this dichotomy in light of the cultural and intellectual currents prevalent in America of his time. / Committee in Charge: Alison Snyder, Chair; James Tice; Deborah Hurtt

O presente trabalho tem por objetivo demonstrar a influência da Arquitetura Japonesa Tradicional sobre o Ocidente, evidenciando as relações diretas das casas tradicionais japonesas com as primeiras casas modernistas ocidentais do início do século XX, através da analise de seus conceitos,de suas técnicas e de suas composições. Primeiramente, mostra-se a história, a concepção espacial e os elementos da Arquitetura Japonesa Tradicional, para se ter a compreensão de como os japoneses percebem, distintamente do Ocidente, o mundo físico e a sua dimensão psicológica. A seguir são selecionadas algumas obras do arquiteto ocidental Frank Lloyd Wright que demonstram as influências recebidas através do seu contato com o Japão, traçando assim um paralelo entre Arquitetura Japonesa Tradicional e Arquitetura Moderna Ocidental. Por fim, procura-se o entendimento de um novo produto gerado, quando as expressões e as técnicas japonesas tradicionais se fundem com as formas e com os espaços ocidentais. / This paper aims on demonstrating the influence of Traditional Japanese Architecture on the West, pointing out the direct reletions between the Tradicional Japanese Houses and the first modern houses in the begining of 20th century, through the analysis of its concepts, techniques and composition. Firstly the history, the spatial conception and the elements of the Tradicional Japanese Architecture are presented in order to understand how japanese perceive the physical world and its psychological aspects. Some work of western architect Frank Lloyd Wright,which demmonstrate the influences of his contact with Japan, are selected to follow, therefore stablishins a paralel between Japanese Traditional and modern western architecture. Finaly, an understanding of a new product is pursued, when the tradidional japanese expression and technics merge with western form and space.

Segundo Wright, a Arquitetura Orgânica possui princípios, onde se baseiam e se fundamentam os projetos. A análise foi realizada pelo método de investigação gráfica, ou seja, por diagramas e para tanto adotamos itens de análise que favorecessem o estudo sistemático dos princípios de sua Arquitetura Orgânica, a fim de criar diagramas sintéticos interpretativos. Foram selecionadas quatorze obras construídas significativas que representam cerca de 400 residências construídas no total, e que fora dividida em três fases: Residências Prairie, Textile Block e Usonia. Para o melhor entendimento das análises dos projetos na primeira e segunda parte da dissertação foram elaborados textos que estabelecem uma base teórica fundamental a partir de escritos do próprio arquiteto, teóricos, críticos e seus clientes e aprendizes. As análises individuais geraram diagramas interpretativos que revelam como foram concretizados, em formas e espaços arquitetônicos, os princípios de sua Arquitetura. Os diagramas revelam tanto características da individualidade de cada projeto e suas peculiaridades, como a linguagem presente no conjunto da obra de cada fase. As tabelas comparativas revelam as transformações do projeto residencial de Wright em cada fase, bem como em todo o conjunto de sua obra, onde fica claro o amadurecimento e consolidação de uma arquitetura genuinamente norteamericana. A análise por comparação torna clara a riqueza e variedade de uma arquitetura coerente e fundamentada nos mesmos princípios. Essa arquitetura humanista contribuiu ao mesmo tempo para uma nova conceituação do espaço sem desrespeitar a natureza, a região e os indivíduos / Abstract: The main purpose of this dissertation is the analysis of residential projects of modern architect Frank Lloyd Wright by the graphical method. According to Wright, Organic Architecture has principles, where projects are based on. The analysis was carried through by the graphic method of investigation and diagrams. For that reason, we adopt some analysis item that privileged the systematic study of the principles of his Organic Architecture, in order to create interpretative synthetic diagrams. Fourteen significant residences had been selected among all the construct projects, which represent about 400 residences constructed in the total, and divided in three phases: Prairie, Textile Block and Usonia residences. For finest understanding of the analyses of the projects in first and the second part of the dissertation, texts had been elaborated which establish a basic theoretical base from writings of the architect, theoreticians, critics and his customers and apprentices. The individual analyses had created interpretative diagrams that disclose how they were materialized, in forms and architectural spaces, the principles of his Architecture. The diagrams in such a way disclose of the individuality of each project and its peculiarities, as the present language in the set of the projects of each phase. The comparative tables disclose the transformations of the residential project of Wright in each phase, as well as in all the set of each project, where we can clearly notice the mature and consolidation of a genuinely North American architecture. The comparative analysis brings clear the wealth and variety of a coherent architecture and based on the same principles. This humanist architecture contributed at the same time for a new conceptualization of the space without disrespecting the nature, the region and the individuals / Mestrado / Mestre em Artes

The Taliesin Preservation Commission works to preserve Taliesin - Frank Lloyd Wright's Wisconsin estate in Spring Green, Wisconsin - while educating the public about the importance of Taliesin and Wright. The Commission is a private, not-for-profit organization whose future depends on private donations and grants. Creating a presence for the Commission on the Internet will allow the organization to substantially achieve its goals by increasing awareness and education while heightening funding opportunities. This project created a website for the Taliesin Preservation Commission. The effort involved background research into the Internet, its capabilities, the Commission, and their needs. While this information supported the development of the project, the project focused on the web authoring. The primary activities included site content development, site organization, research, writing of text, graphic development, page design, and HTML code writing. In addition, the project secured website storage space and dial-up access for the Commission. It concluded with the launching of the Taliesin Preservation Commission's website at www.taliesinpreservation.org. / Department of Architecture
