The Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation has shared news of the passing of Wright’s grandson Eric Lloyd Wright last month at the age of 93.

Wright, who was the only child of Frank Lloyd Wright Jr., designed homes and religious projects in California, Pennsylvania, the American Midwest and Finland.

He was an apprentice for his grandfather at Taliesin until being drafted into service in the Korean War in 1952. Wright returned to Los Angeles in 1956 to work for his father’s studio but did not earn an architectural license until 1967, according to his biography on the Foundation’s Memoriam.

It was in Malibu in 1978 that Wright began his own practice, Eric Lloyd Wright & Associates Architecture & Planning. From there, his firm went on to become a fixture in the myriad restoration projects of his father and grandfather’s original designs, including the Ennis House, South Carolina’s Auldbrass Plantation, and the Storer House in Los Angeles.

Broad Minded City Documentary Film looking for a venue

2012-11-29T14:59:00-05:00

Broad Minded City is a Documentary about Urban Planning, Design and Architecture focusing on the current issues facing cities in development, issues like sustainability, culture identity, infrastructure, transportation and preservation. It's a multidisciplinary approach loosely based on Frank Lloyd Wright's urban model "Broadacre City" to show the difference between Broadacre City and Urban Sprawl as we know it today.

Right now, we are looking to share a 10-15 min short film of Broad Minded City to the public in a venue. The initial screening will mostly happen in the Los Angeles area, but not against screening on other cities interested in this subject matter. The hope is to make the documentary into a full-feature film (90 mins. or longer).

If anyone is interested in screening in their gallery space or movie venue, please contact or you have different suggestions on a idea venue. The documentary is not only for the architect, developer, planner & designer, but to the broader audience who have an interest or a belief that cities and the urban environment should have better planning, transparency & design, that the design of buildings and spaces should be an everyday experience.
