Frank Lloyd Wright (June 8, 1867 – April 9, 1959) was an American architect, designer, writer, and educator. He designed more than 1,000 structures over a creative period of 70 years. Wright played a key role in the architectural movements of the twentieth century, influencing architects 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". Wright was recognized in 1991 by the American Institute of Architects as "the greatest American architect of all time". Wright was accorded significant honorary recognition for his lifetime achievements. He received a Gold Medal from The Royal Institute of British Architects in 1941. Eight of Wright's buildings – Fallingwater, Guggenheim Museum, the Hollyhock House, Jacobs House, the Robie House, Taliesin, Taliesin West, and the Unity Temple – were listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites under the title The 20th-century Architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright in 2019.

This Study Plan Book contains 36 drawings of cupolas, 22 illustrations of foot bridges, either covered bridges, and a small amount of history on each subject. In architecture, a cupola (is a relatively small, most often dome-like, tall structure on top of a building. Often used to provide a lookout or to admit light and air, it usually crowns a larger roof or dome. The word derives, via Italian, from lower Latin cupola (classical Latin cupella), from Ancient Greek 'small cup' (Latin cupa), indicating a vault resembling an upside-down cup. The cupola evolved during the Renaissance from the older oculus. Being weatherproof, the cupola was better suited to the wetter climates of northern Europe.[citation needed] The chhatri, seen in Indian architecture, fits the definition of a cupola when it is used atop a larger structure. Cupolas often serve as a belfry, belvedere, or roof lantern above a main roof. In other cases they may crown a spire, tower, or turret. Barns often have cupolas for ventilation. Cupolas can also appear as small buildings in their own right. The square, dome-like segment of a North American railroad train caboose that contains the second-level or "angel" seats is also called a cupola. More

It was decided to continue the monthly American Consular Bulletin as the official publication of the expanded association.
