'Natural Inspiration' Video Highlights Fay Jones-Frank Lloyd Wright Ties
Entry to the viewing pavilion of the Bachman-Wilson House on the grounds of Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art.
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – University of Arkansas students and faculty had the rare opportunity to partner with Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art to design and build a permanent structure on the museum grounds. Their creation is a viewing pavilion to complement Frank Lloyd Wright's Bachman-Wilson House. Crystal Bridges acquired the house, moved it more than 1,200 miles and reassembled it on the museum grounds. The viewing pavilion serves as an educational center and bridge between the museum and the Bachman-Wilson house.
See how students in the Fay Jones School of Architecture and Design honored Jones and his mentor, Wright, with their creation.
