Wright Outside: Nature meets Design

In addition to being a world-famous architect, Frank Lloyd Wright was also a prolific landscape designer. Wright’s concept of organic architecture integrated design with the natural world. His buildings were site specific and used the surrounding natural environment to enhance the beauty of the buildings themselves.

This year, campers will explore landscape architecture and how it relates to the work of Frank Lloyd Wright. Students will learn about the history of landscape architecture in the Oak Park and Chicago area, get their hands dirty planting flowers and greenery, and design a model set in a beautiful landscape of their own creation.
