"When I finished Unity Temple, I had it. I knew I had the beginning of a great thing, a great truth in architecture." Frank Lloyd WrightEarly on the morning of June 4, 1905, lightning struck the steeple of Unity Church in the Chicago suburb of Oak Park, igniting a fire that would raze the building to the ground. The Unitarian congregation suddenly needed a home and turned to local architect Frank Lloyd Wright for a new approach. Thus begins the story of a watershed moment in the career of the world's most influential architect and in the history of twentiethcentury architecture and design.Wright's design for Unity Temple was radical in its simplicitya monolithic concrete exterioryet sublime in its detail and revolutionary in its use of interior space. With Wright's execution of Unity Temple, the ideas he'd been working on and experimenting with for years were finally brought to fruition, and modern design was born.But it might never have happened if not for a devoted Unitarian congregation who embraced Wright's ideas and remained faithful to the architect and his vision through the trials and calamities of construction. Unity Temple, when completed in 1909, wasand still isconsidered one of the landmarks of modern architecture. Author David M. Sokol poured more than 20 years of research into The Noble Room and uncovers a dramatic talemuch of which turns out to be at odds with the accepted story of how Wright himself described the process.Anyone with an interest in architecture or in Frank Lloyd Wrightor indeed anyone who's ever had an addition put on to their house or a kitchen remodeledwill be caught up in the story of the tumultuous, chaotic creation of a modern masterpiece, which comes to life in The Noble Room.
