movin' on up

big news for all those who worship the grandfather of
american architecture.

frank lloyd wright's oeuvre of thousands of archived 

drawings, photos, models and other documents will move 

from wisconsin and arizona to new york city, the 

architect's foundation announced yesterday.

the museum of modern art and columbia university's 

avery  architectural & fine arts library acquired the vast 

archives -- which include 23,000 architectural drawings, 

44,000 historical photographs, large-scale presentation models, 

manuscripts, letters and other documents -- and they will 

become part of the institutions' permanent collections.

 

moma will house the models; columbia will preserve the 

documents.  

for any architecture or design enthusiast, this gives you yet
another reason to get to the big apple and enjoy the splendors
of that world class city.
 
we'll see you there.
