Please join Oakland Heritage Alliance for an afternoon of sparkling wine, delightful confections, and string ensemble music, with like-minded admirers of exemplary design! Alan Hess pre-lecture, May 5th, 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm included with ticket.
Built in 1948 on 3.5 acres, and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Frank Lloyd Wright's Buehler House is a superb example of his late residential work. Its original relationship to the site; its form and spatial organization; natural materials, structural innovation,and the integration of ornament into the architecture represent the major characteristics of Wrights's Usonian style (1936- 1959).
A guided tour reveals these Usonian features, and highlights the dramatic space of the hexagonal living room, with its slanted gold-leafed ceiling acting as a natural light reflector. A one-and-a-half story glass wall organically integrates the house and garden and provides a panoramic view.
STROLL THE HENRY MATSUTANI JAPANESE GARDENS
Wright had the naturally steep slope graded so the creek would be visible from the living room. The Henry Matsutani Japanese gardens, developed during the 1960s and 1970s, include the creek, a pond, and 8-foot waterfall, gazebo, tea house, Koi pond, five bridges, sculpture, pathways, and a glade. A lingering stroll quiets the mind and offers serene moments.
Pre-Lecture: HOW THE WEST SHAPED FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT (Free with MODERNISM Registration; however, requires separate Eventbrite Registration)
Tuesday, May 5, 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm. Architect and historian Alan Hess, San Jose Mercury News architecture critic, is an author lecturer and advocate for twentieth-ceantury architectural preservation. His nineteen books on Modern architecture and urbanism include Frank Lloyd Wright: Natural Design, Organic Architecture (2012). $25 general admission, $20 members (see separate Eventbrite registration). FREE with tour registration.
