Frank Lloyd Wright & the American City Today

Fall 2025 (Volume 16, Issue 1)

Guest Editor: Audra Dye

In 2024, the Conservancy's annual conference used Detroit as an unexpected but fitting setting to revisit Wright's ambitious proposals for the city of the future. This issue draws from and builds on themes introduced during conference talks and tours, and introduces several new recurring departments to connect the issue to the Conservancy's ongoing preservation work.

Colleagues & Clients: Women’s Roles in Frank Lloyd Wright’s Architecture

Fall 2024 (Volume 15, Issue 2)

Guest Editor: Jane King Hession

Over the course of his long career, Wright had productive professional relationships with many female colleagues, welcomed women into the Taliesin Fellowship from day one, and worked closely with a host of strong-minded women clients to achieve complex architectural projects. This issue builds on our 2023 annual conference in Minneapolis to explore these themes.
