Frank Lloyd Wright and Japan Revisited: 

Traditional Japanese Culture as a Means to Modern American Architecture

 

Speaker: Kevin Nute

 

This talk expands on more than three decades of research that began in 1993 with the publication of the American Institute of Architects-Award-winning book Frank Lloyd Wright and Japan. With the goal of better understanding Wrightʻs philosophical priorities and process of design, his interpretations of traditional Japanese forms are re-examined in the context of current notions otherness, appropriation, abstraction, synthesis, translation and myth. 

Kevin Nute is a British American architectural theorist based at the University of Hawaiʻi. He is an internationally recognized authority on the transcultural implications of Japanese architecture. He recently published Frank Lloyd Wright and Japan Revisited: Traditional Japanese Culture as a Means to Modern American Architecture (World Scientific Publishing, 2025).

 

This hybrid lecture will be held on site (registration from here) and via Zoom (meeting ID: 831 9070 8879 ).
