    Caption: » Parkwyn Village, site plan, Kalamazoo, Michigan, 1947. Wright designed four homes for this community; the rest are by other architects. « [page 81]

    » […] A second ['Galesburg Country Homes' being the other] nonprofit organization at Parkwyn Village in Kalamazoo, Michigan, was built by similar self-help techniques. Contractors were called in to work on portions of, and in some cases, entire homes. The community has since grown, with some houses designed by other architects. The site plans for both Michigan groups proposed a layout of serpentine roads meandering about the contours and servicing circular 1-acre lots. For the most part, these lots touched only at their circumferences; open space between them was maintained as landscape held in common by the community. « [page 79]

    1 a b c » Textile block homes by Wright at Parkwyn included the Levin house of 1948, the McCartney and Brown houses of 1949, and the Winn house of 1950. « [note 62, page 174]

    » […] Wright again proposed a scheme of circular lots. The earliest drawing, dated April 12, 1947, shows 40 sites; [ Abb. _01 ] a revised drawing dated October 16, 1947 shows 37 sites. As built, however, the circular lots were squared off. […] « [… because the Federal Housing Administration refused to finance circular lots. VI.) See As-built drawing.]

Entstehung

 
  • Vorläufige Fassung ...
  • Meine Sicht von Broadacre City entstand im Mai 1999 im Rahmen meiner Diplomarbeit 16/3 und ging im Juni des selben Jahres online.
  • Im Mai 2007 fand eine englische Übersetzung ihren Weg ins Netz.
  • Alle Links zu http://contentdm.unl.edu/ [University of Nebraska-Lincoln Libraries] wurden erneuert (25.11.2008)
  • Links zu http://www.mcah.columbia.edu/ [Columbia University in the City of New York] hinzugefügt (2.8.2009)
  • Allfällige Datierungen sind den jeweiligen Quellen entnommen [!]. Wikipedia und 'The Complete Works' von Bruce Brooks Pfeiffer bringen eine gewisse 'Konventionalisierung' mit sich, die 'Chronologien' älterer Publikationen (zumal von Zeitzeugen) überlagert.
