| SEAN MALONE |
We are pleased that Sean Malone, the newly
appointed CEO of the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, chose to kick off a
national tour of major public Wright sites with the Darwin D. Martin
House. Sean was drawn to the Buffalo success story but he came with existential
and visionary questions: “Who do we (the FLW
Foundation) exist to serve?” he asks, “What are the deep, meaningful
needs that no one else is providing? Of those needs, which are we uniquely
positioned to serve?” Sean’s visit coincided with that of a contingent
of officials from the Wright-designed campus of Florida Southern College – also
drawn to the Martin House story – where they are building a Usonian house,
designed for the campus by Wright, that is to serve as an orientation center
for the more than 20,000 visitors to the campus annually. Exciting discussions
ensued, none more affecting than the question of Wright’s continued relevance
in a world of diminishing natural resources, commercialism, and virtual
realities.
