by Frank Lloyd Wright
10/9/31. Wright first wrote to Lewis Mumford in 1926, when he was in his 50s and already renowned, but at a low point in his career and in desperate need of renewed critical interest in his work; Mumford was in his 30s and making his name in cultural criticism, with much of his writing focused on architecture and urban planning. His writing, however, connected the separate domains of philosophy, architecture, anthropology, and literature to one another and to the human domain in general. He greatly admired Wright's work as ""the exemplar of organic design, built in accordance with the rhythms of modern life""; the two men shared ideas and interests. Wright (truncated)
