It may be hot outside, but the graduate students from the WashU Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts thought the FLWHEP was way cool.
The FLWHEP serves as a living laboratory — a place where experiential learning happens through direct encounter with Wright’s design principles: compression and release, organic form, the dissolving line between inside and out.

This is why we prioritize free student access. Some lessons can only be learned by standing in the room.

This Usonian gem is one of Missouri’s best-kept architectural secrets. This year marks 75 years since groundbreaking and 25 years as a public site. Come see Wright’s “hidden gem” in STL.

We’re grateful for partners like Mackey Mitchell Architects who invest in the next generation of design professionals. Thank you to Tom Peterson and Steve Emer for their leadership in creating meaningful experiences for interns including today’s tour and lunch at the FLWHEP.

Wright built his legacy through apprentices at Taliesin — mentorship like this carries that same spirit forward.

As we celebrate 25 years as a public site this year, we’re also remembering Gene Mackey, whose vision and dedication were instrumental in preserving this Usonian landmark. His legacy continues through the firm he built and the professionals it continues to train today.

“The mother art is architecture.” Frank Lloyd Wright

Tall trees rise, the eave holds its line — Wright’s horizontality finding its counterpoint in everything that grows.

No showpiece kitchen. No need for one. The Krauses just wanted a place to cook dinner — and Wright, characteristically, gave them precisely that.

Joanne Kohn understood that preservation is never just about buildings — it's about ideas. As board chair she was instrumental in acquiring and preserving the Kraus House. She was also committed to keeping the FLWHEP’s mission anchored in big thinking. The lecture that bears her and her husband, Alan's name, brings leading voices in architecture and design to our community each year.

In partnership with the Saint Louis Art Museum, the Joanne and Alan Kohn Lecture engages academics, practitioners and others who share insight into Frank Lloyd Wright’s buildings and design philosophies.

Your gift to the Joanne and Alan Kohn lecture keeps this tradition alive.

Consider a donation to the Joanne and Alan Kohn Lecture Fund to honor and support Joanne's vision.
