12:00–12:30 PM – Exhibition private tour by Thomas Szolwinski, the Associate Curator of Architecture & Design
Frank Lloyd Wright: Modern Chair Design is more than an exhibition—it’s an experiential tour through Wright’s previously unknown furniture experiments and a comprehensive new look at how one of the greatest architects of all time fundamentally shaped furniture design, from the inspired spaces of his own home and studio.
1:00–2:00 PM – Principles in Practice: Organic Architecture Today
Join architect Ken Dahlin, founder of Genesis Architecture, for a presentation and talk on Frank Lloyd Wright’s influence on contemporary practice. Drawing on his own work and research, Dahlin will share how Wright’s principles continue to shape architectural thinking today. The talk is followed by a book signing of Dahlin’s recently published book, Frank Lloyd Wright and the Path to Beauty
2:00–4:00 PM – Reception (Snacks with cash bar)
