Architect Lloyd Wright, eldest son of Frank Lloyd Wright, may have followed in his father’s career footsteps, but his projects — including 1920s houses and two early shells for the Hollywood
Bowl — were infused with his own statement about the vibrancy of postwar Southern California. On Saturday, architectural historian Dana Hutt will present a talk titled “Lloyd Wright:
Architect of Sunshine and Shadow,” the last installment of this season’s Sidney D. Gamble Lecture Series organized by the Gamble House in Pasadena. The Hutt event starts at 7:30 p.m. at the
Art Center College of Design in Pasadena. A related tour of three Lloyd Wright homes in the Los Angeles area is planned for May 8 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The stops will be the Sowden house in
Los Feliz and the Derby house in Glendale, both built in 1926, and the Gainsburg house in La Cañada Flintridge, built in 1946. “Lloyd Wright managed to distinguish himself as an architect,
yet he drew from his father’s genius and made it his own,” said Ted Bosley, director of the Gamble House. “In the homes on the tour, we get a sense of the evolution of his work from the
early textured-block style to the modern world, and the debate about modernism after the Second World War.” Tickets for the lecture are $15 to $25 and can be purchased in advance or at the
door. Home tour tickets, $35 to $45, must be purchased in advance. Order online at _https://www.gamblehouse.org_ or call (626) 793-3334, Ext. 52. [email protected] MORE TO READ
