Save the Date for our Premier of "Isabel Roberts' Pavilion in the Water" |
|
|
Wednesday June 22, 6:30-8 pm | Winter Park Library, Edyth Bush Theatre A two-film series that explores the futurist vision of the female architect who studied design with Frank Lloyd Wright (and even ran his shop in Chicago) then moved to Florida after closing FLW's Illinois practice. The singular band stand in the water, designed to be in the lake rather than beside the lake, is the focus of the series and has all the hallmarks of the Prairie School style which originated with FLW and his proteges in the Upper-Midwest. The film also covers Isabel's design work with Ida Ryan, their firm, one of the first female architecture studios in the country, and the buildings built in Orlando and surrounding communities. Registration coming soon! We are accepting sponsors for this event. Please contact bianca@orlandoarchitecture.org for more information. |
