Peter Smithson: Conversations with Students

Reading aligned with lecture: Frank Lloyd Wright


Personal summary of reading pages 9-32 & 72-89: 

This article informs us of two conversations of Peter Smithson with two students. Its interesting to see how travelling, experiencing and networking in conversation one aided the students development. Further more I like that this student was very interested into classicism but was wanted to see how those on the other side thought and processed. This conversation didn’t really provoke me, instead it was interesting to see how an architect responds to his own ideas from his past and how they react to them know and how they have developed. I also liked that when there was no ‘work’ for him that he would be investigating and learning.


Conversation three appears to be talking to the same person as in conversation one. Again this didn’t massively interest me.
