What is Architecture? (to Frank Lloyd Wright)

Abstract

This text gives rise to a series of articles on what is Architecture. This first approach is an article pub-lished in 1958 by the prestigious US magazine The Architectural Forum, in which Frank Lloyd Wright (1887-1959) precisely defined what he understood
to be Architecture. The magazine reported that the text was an extract from the lectures given by Wright in London in 1939. However, after careful study of the text, we realized that the information on the source of the material was inaccurate, which led us to a more detailed research of the original texts that comprise the published extract. This ar- ticle also brings the translation into Portuguese of the material.
