The latest volume in MoMA's One on One series: a deep dive into the architectural giant's arcadian vision of the modern habitat
When American architect Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) proposed Broadacre City (1929-35), he advanced an astonishing claim: that the metropolis was obsolete. In its place, Broadacre was to be a Usonian synthesis, an unprecedented landscape unsullied by convention or history, consisting simply of architecture and acreage. With its low-density carpet of small plots, predominantly one- and two-story buildings, and seemingly infinite territory, the ruralized landscape of Broadacre would sustain new levels of individuality and freedom, far more democratic than a traditional metropolis could ever support.
