ABSTRACT
Movement in a literal sense was a fundamental part of a lifetime that spanned from the pace of a horse to the flight of a plane. Nitschke has shown how movement over an entire complex is worked into the form of a site, reserving its finest features for places of repose or surprise. Wright has developed one thing which the author defies any of us to equal: the arrangements of the secrets of space. The author calls it the hieratic aspects of architecture. Before 1893, Wright was probably the foremost Western expert on the Japanese print: ikoye-i. By 1905, he had assimilated the seeming simplicity and sense of progressive discovery found in the Japanese building tradition. He had carried the mental 'table' on which he had learned Froebel's Gifts to the flat prairies of the mid west career, but it was inadequate for the hilly sites of Los Angeles.
