Florida Southern College in Lakeland boasts the largest single-site collection of Frank Lloyd Wright architecture in the world. With eleven buildings planned and designed by Wright; the campus forms a rich tableau for examining the architects philosophy and design practice.In this fully illustrated volume; Dale Allen Gyure tells the engaging story of the ambitious project from beginning to end. The colleges dynamic president; Ludd M. Spivey; wanted the grounds and buildings redesigned to embody a modern and distinctly American expression of Protestant theology. Informed by Spiveys vision; his own early educational experience; and his architectural philosophy; Wright conceived the "Child of the Sun" complex.Much like Thomas Jeffersons famous plan for the University of Virginia; the academic village that Wright designed for Florida Southern College expresses a dramatic and personal statement about education in a democratic society. Little studied to date; this significant campus and its history are finally given the attention they deserve in this fascinating volume.
