"Unity Temple makes an entirely new architecture and is the first
expression of it. That is my contribution to modern architecture,
and that, to me, is modern architecture."
Frank Lloyd Wright
Early on the morning of June 4, 1905, lightning struck the
steeple of Unity Church in the Chicago suburb of Oak Park, igniting
a fire that would raze the building to the ground. The Unitarian
congre-gation suddenly needed a home and turned to local architect
Frank Lloyd Wright for a new approach.
Thus begins the story of a watershed moment in the career of
the world's most influential architect and in the history of
twentieth-century architecture and design. With Wright's execution
of Unity Temple, the ideas he'd been working on and experimenting
with for years were finally brought to fruition, and modern design
was born.
