Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio

Purpose: Expanding Educational Resources The Frank Lloyd Wright Preservation Trust will expand the educational services through a program called Virtual Architect. It is a web-based interactive learning project that will give target users (youth, ages 11-14) the opportunity to act as architects, using their imaginations to create their own design solutions to problems posed by specific clients, sites, and communities. In addition, examples of Frank Lloyd Wright's residential designs as well as other innovative residential architecture will be available on the Web site as fuel for the imaginations of the users in developing their own unique designs. An essential part of the Virtual Architect project will be establishing quantifiable, measurable outcomes and working with both IMLS and an external evaluation firm to insure that the learning objectives identified in the project are being met. Front end, formative, and final evaluations will be completed as a basis for assessing students' learning, progress, and demonstrated achievement.
