In this workshop we will use archival materials to retrieve, study, and reconstruct a series of unrealized furnishings that Frank Lloyd Wright designed for the Guggenheim Museum ramp in New York City. The furniture we will examine offers a startling perspective on Wright’s vision for the Guggenheim Museum: Most visitors to the Museum experience the ramp as a dynamic circulation route where one stands to view art. By contrast, Wright envisioned the ramp as a place for sitting, resting, and viewing art from a more prone position. Wright’s intended designs for the ramp are prescient, especially as museums explore ways to reimagine their facilities from the perspectives of their disabled visitors. In this workshop, conducted in collaboration with the Guggenheim Museum, we will revisit the critical potential of Wright's furnishing designs. We will explore how we can creatively employ the ideas within Wright’s designs today through interpretive drawings, models and full-size mock-ups of them. Our work will include archival explorations, meetings with Guggenheim Museum staff, the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, and fabricators who will study how to realize elements of our research for the Museum. This course will meet as a two-week intensive from June 20 to July 3; students will have additional time after the two weeks of class meetings to complete final assignments.
