I have always admired the great sacredness of the interiors of Wright’s buildings. He seemed to build his buildings from the internal experience of the occupant outward. Rather than simply seeing the house a structure satisfying a basic need to have basic rooms to shelter, he imagined the experience of dwelling in that shelter, and built an inspiring experience, taking into account what it felt like to really live there. His taste was to celebrate open views, natural light, and a poetic sense of forms and geometry. The sacredness of his work means they hold up well more as temples to our human potential rather than merely boxes to shelter people and things.

If you look at the Babylo-Celtic-Nahuatl-Shinto cultures infused in every cranny of these temples of doom, you start to realize that these are not experiences from within but experiences of death and afterlife of these different cultures; all flailing in a tumultuous vortex of energies that drive people mad and kill and possess...Frank was the ultimate architectural mad scientist...Fauci would be impressed if he knew what Frank was doing meta- physically to his patrons...

The best summary I could give is Frank Lloyd Wright is trying to encourage this group in the pursuit of beauty and charm. To not fall victim to the box. Which is to limit yourself. He’s no perfect man. But man is a fallen creature. He basically is telling them to pursue heaven in the earthly life, in my opinion.

Such a profound message if only someone could take it and alchemize it into action.

Was this 1952 or 1958? My ex father in Law was at this lecture. He was studying with Bruce Goff at the time.

What did he say at the very end? Always ask “why?”
