Jesse Jackson Usonia Road: Frank Lloyd Wright In The Post-Fordist City

Frank Lloyd Wright’s Usonian projects
were designed in response to the needs
of a burgeoning middle class that
emerged during the Fordist economy
of the mid-20th century. Both Ford and
Wright had totalizing visions for society
that persist today in fragmented
forms. By presenting a selection of
Wright’s work within its contemporary
context, no matter if it is decayed or
renewed, Jackson reveals the tension
between visionary architecture and the
evolving urban landscape.
