Madison, the first week of March, 1961

Madison, the first week of March, 1961 Madison in the Sixties The Spring primary on March 7 brings double-barreled bad news for Frank Lloyd Wright’s Monona Terrace auditorium and exhibition hall. In the morning, construction bids are opened for the ambitious project which the city approved in 1954, but which opponents have delayed since then through litigation and legislation. And it’s quickly evident that their plan to kill the project through economic pressures was a good one, as more than six years of inflation knocked the budget completely out of whack. In November 1954, city voters approved $4 million in bonds for the project which the world-famous architect said would marry the city and the lake. The city parking utility later added $1.5 million, for a total budget of five and a half million, and the project finally went out to bid earlier this year.

Just 40 miles West of Columbus, in Springfield, Ohio is the Westcott House.  It was once the home of Burton Westcott – wealthy businessman and president of the Westcott Motor Car Company. While Westcott remains famous for being one of the first to value luxury automobiles, his most notable page in history might be the hiring of architectural legend Frank Lloyd Wright to design his house. The home, built in 1906, has gone through many renovations over the years, some better than others. While Wright’s houses today are revered and preserved, in the early 1940s, the Westcott House was converted into an apartment building, practically destroying all evidence of his work.

The gallery is a pure cantilever, with all the load supported at one end only © James Reeve The 200-hectare Chateau La Coste estate and vineyard in the Luberon, southern France, is an impressive fusion of art, architecture and viniculture, where visitors are greeted by a Louise Bourgeois Maman sculpture nearly hovering over a shallow pool of water, designed by the Japanese architect Tadao Ando. The latest addition, completed this month, is a new Drawing Gallery by the architect Richard Rogers, which joins buildings by Renzo Piano, Jean-Michel Wilmotte, Frank Gehry and Oscar Niemeyer. And since Rogers retired from architecture last year, this may well be his last work.
