Prairie Mind : Frank Lloyd Wright and Usonian Architecture of Self-Space

By Pavel Somov

Architecture was the language of Wright's dharma of healing. His vision of psychological sovereignty was as panoramic as his wall-to-wall windows. The goal of this book is to translate Wright's language of architecture into the language of psychology. The book discusses the correspondence between Wright's architecture and Tibetan Buddhist tradition of Dzogchen, Akashic theory (a Vedic teaching on space), Gurdjieff-style pattern-interruption, etc. Excerpt: "We have to redesign our sense of self - our field of being - to leave the dualistic caves that imprison and box us in. We must move towards a more organic (less dual) architecture of mind."Table of Contents:Wright Doesn't Have to Be WrongUsonian Self-ArchitectureThe Vanishing WallThe Natural LightingThe Disappearing CornerOpening of the Floor-planLetting Go of GrandomaniaDrawing the Earthline of IntegrityViewing the Big Picture from a Worm's-Eye ViewEver-Reincarnating Shining BrowSelf-Assembling SelfWright & Gurdjieff: Breaking Patterns, Challenging FormsEmbracing Our Arboreal NatureWright's Dzogchen: Sky-Gazing & Architectural Neuro-BuddhismWright & Akashic Liberation of SpaceA Prairie (State of) Mind
