Film: "The Spirit in Architecture: John Lautner"
Presented by Filmmaker Bette Jane Cohen
The film examines the life and work of the American architect John Lautner (1911-1994),
one of the most visionary American architects of the 20th century. His work represents
an aspect of organic design, the legacy of Frank Lloyd Wright, and the contributions of
Southern California architecture that expands our understanding of the nature of modernism.

Film: "A Child of the Sun"
Presented by Director Michael Miner
The largest single collection of Frank Lloyd Wright architecture in the world can
be witnessed in the buildings of Florida Southern College, built between 1938 and 1958.
The ten built and eight un-built structures are covered in great detail in the film.
Wright's commitment to organic architecture is explored through his multi-building
design concept and the integration of the sun as a critical contributing design element.
