Join Kenneth Dahlin, PhD, AIA, award-winning architect and author of Frank Lloyd Wright and the Path to Beauty, for an illuminating exploration of organic architecture. While often misunderstood, Wright’s foundational principles remain a powerful guide for creating a more humane, sustainable, and beautiful built environment in the 21st century.

The evening will also feature the winners of the second annual Wright Now Student Design Competition. Three college student award winners will present their work, showcasing how the next generation of designers is reinterpreting Wright’s legacy for the modern world.
