Frank Lloyd Wright Architect Blue Line Blueprint Greek Orthodox Church Rare Unique Artistic Sheet #14. This sale is for 1 sheet, Sheet #14. This blueprint belonged to a member of the Church building committee that was involved in the commissioning of Architect Frank Lloyd Wright for the design of the Church for the Milwaukee Hellenic Community. I will include a copy of a letter from a family member that states this. The sheets have yellowing, edge tears, and minor flaws as can be expected in vintage construction documents. Blueprint Dimensions: 36″ x 62″. According to architectural historian and Wright scholar Bruce Brooks Pfeiffer, When he received a commission for a church for the Milwaukee Hellenic Community, Wright consulted his wife, who was brought up in the Greek Orthodox faith, about the predominant symbols of the church. The cross and the dome, was her reply. These two architectural forms dominate the design. The floor plan itself is a Greek cross. Wide arches support the upper level, or balcony. The roof dome sits atop an inverted dome, or bowl. Through simplification and abstraction of the forms, Wright succeeded in artfully translating the cross and the dome from their historical Byzantine context to the vastly dissimilar setting of the twentieth-century American Midwest. Wright explained: The edifice is in itself a complete work of modern art and science belonging to today but dedicated to ancient traditioncontributing to Tradition instead of living upon it.
