Wright played a key role in the architectural movements of the twentieth century, influencing architects worldwide through his works and hundreds of apprentices in his Taliesin Fellowship. Wright believed in designing in harmony with humanity and the environment, a philosophy he called organic architecture. This philosophy was exemplified in Fallingwater (1935), which has been called "the best all-time work of American architecture." More

Peter Blake was an architect, critic and former editor in chief of Architectural Forum who was known for his lively critiques of Modernism and his friendships with artists. One of Mr. Blake’s most-discussed designs was never built: an “Ideal Museum,” conceived in 1949 for Jackson Pollock, a friend. Mr. Blake envisioned a spare building behind the artist’s house in East Hampton in which Pollock’s paintings would be set between mirrored walls, creating a sense of infinite views. The design was included in a Pollock exhibition in the Betty Parsons Gallery in Manhattan and, in the 1980s, at the Centre Pompidou in Paris. He became a citizen in 1944 and changed his name to Blake. By then he had struck up an acquaintance with a wide and often rambunctious circle of artists, architects and writers, from Jackson Pollock to Charles Eames. In 1948, he was named curator of architecture and design at the Museum of Modern Art writing a monograph on the architect Marcel Breuer. Books exploring Frank Lloyd Wright, Le Corbusier, Mies van der Rohe and Philip Johnson followed. From 1965 to 1972, he was the editor in chief of Architectural Forum, which attracted a wide following with its articles on architectural currents. Mr. Blake then founded his own magazine, Architecture Plus, where he worked until 1975. More

The authors have canvassed the widest possible range of literature and commentary on each building-from airline magazines to professional journals-to plot the vicissitudes of their subjects' critical fortunes and popular reputations. Tod A. Marder, Ph.D., is professor of art history at Rutgers University. He is an expert in the art of Bernini, the city of ancient and modern Rome, and Renaissance and baroque art.

Vincent Joseph Scully Jr. (August 21, 1920 – November 30, 2017) was an American art historian who was a Sterling Professor of the History of Art in Architecture at Yale University, and the author of several books on the subject. Architect Philip Johnson once described Scully as "the most influential architectural teacher ever." His lectures at Yale were known to attract casual visitors and packed houses, and regularly received standing ovations. He was also the distinguished visiting professor in architecture at the University of Miami. He earned his BA degree from Yale in 1940, his M.A. in 1947, and his Ph.D. in 1949.. He taught classes at Yale from 1947, often to packed lecture rooms. He was also a distinguished visiting professor at the University of Miami. Scully officially retired from Yale in 1991, but continued giving courses there and at the University of Miami. He announced in 2009, however, at the age of 89, that he was no longer well enough to continue teaching. Scully's early advocacy was critical to the emergence of both Louis I. Kahn and Robert Venturi as important 20th-century architects. Scully was involved in the preservation of Olana, Frederic Church's home in upstate New York, publishing an article on its significance and endangerment in the May 1965 issue of Progressive Architecture.

Tician Papachristou was born in Athens, Greece, Tician came to the U.S. in 1945. He studied architecture at Princeton University and practiced in Colorado and New York City where he was a partner of Marcel Breuer. Among his many works are award-winning houses, a new city in Egypt and his own houses in Springs, New York, Hydra, Greece, and in Sheffield. In 1954, Tician Papachristou rode on a Greyhound bus into the city that would launch his architectural career. That far-from-grand entrance led to an 11-year stay in Boulder, where Papachristou found a symbiotic relationship with the city: His distinct style flourished as he added to Boulder’s burgeoning modernist movement. In support of peace and opposition to nuclear war, he was a founding member of Architects / Designers / Planners for Social Responsibility in the U.S. and co-chair of its international organization.

(reporting mark VIA) (/ vi /), operating as Via Rail or Via, is a Canadian Crown corporation that is mandated to operate intercity passenger rail service in Canada. On 12 January 1977, CN spun off its passenger services as a separate Crown corporation, Via Rail Canada. At its inception, Via acquired all CN passenger cars and locomotives. Following several months of negotiation, on 29 October 1978, Via assumed all CP passenger train operations and took possession of cars and locomotives. At this time, Via did not own any trackage and had to pay right-of-way fees to CN and CP, sometimes being the only user of rural branch lines. Via initially had a tremendous variety of equipment — much of it in need of replacement — and operated routes stretching from Sydney, Nova Scotia to Prince Rupert, British Columbia and north to Churchill, Manitoba. Over 150 scheduled trains per week were in operation, including transcontinental services, regional trains, and corridor services. By the late 1990s, with a rail-friendly Minister of Transport, David Collenette, in office, there were modest funding increases to Via. Corridor services were improved with new and faster trains, a weekly tourist train, the Bras d'Or, returned Via service to Cape Breton Island for the first time since the 1990 cuts, and a commitment was made to continue operating on Vancouver Island.

The textile block system is a unique structural building method created by Frank Lloyd Wright in the early 1920s. The concept involves patterned concrete blocks reinforced by steel rods, created by pouring concrete mixture into molds, thus enabling the repetition of form. The blocks are then stacked to build walls. More
