Frank Lloyd Wright | HOW TO SEE Midway Gardens with Spyros Papapetros

Explore Frank Lloyd Wright’s lost Midway Gardens and learn how the architect controlled the design process, from the plans for the building’s facade and courtyard, all the way down to furniture, rugs, and cutlery. Guest curator Spyros Papapetros explains why “organic ornamentation”—objects that bring the whole building together—were so important to Wright, and often accounted for over half the budget of his building projects.
