AN OPPORTUNITY TO JOIN
ONE’S OWN LEGACY TO THAT OF AMERICA’S GREATEST ARCHITECT
In his pioneering concept for Blue-Sky Mausoleum, Frank Lloyd Wright “broke the box” of memorial architecture tradition. His design fully manifests his principle of “organic” architecture.
The structure is integrated into the landscape, and its granite echoes the stone of nearby monuments. The blue sky is its ceiling, and living greens gently suggest its walls. The edifice overlooks a peaceful pond.
