2.1763 Frank Lloyd Wright - Broadacre City.
Wright sought an architecture that responded to nature and human needs. His focus was on harmonizing environment, structure, objects, outfittings, and inhabitants. Wright's design for Broadacre City, like his Usonian houses, first emerged during the 1930s. The Swiss-born Le Corbusier had proposed a "Ville Radieuse" in a 1932 article in the New York Times Magazine. Le Corbusier' s plan was a cluster of high-rises in the midst of large grassy areas. Wright responded with his own vision in a March 20, 1932, New York Times Magazine article. 2.5 pgs. 5 f/c. 6b.
