Frank Lloyd Wright was an influential American architect known for his pioneering organic style. He designed many notable structures including Fallingwater and the Guggenheim Museum. Wright had an unconventional personal life with three marriages and was known for his strong personality and visionary designs that integrated with nature. He developed new approaches to architecture like Usonian houses that set trends for affordable suburban design.
An architectural style that emerged around early 1960s and was against the architectural styles advocated by Le Corbusier and Ludwig vies Van der Rohe.
The famous American architect, Frank Lloyd Wright changed the way we build and the way we live. As an architect, Frank Lloyd Wright was known for many things, but perhaps his most famed characteristic was his exceptional attention to detail – in many of his projects, each furniture piece was designed specifically for its intended location.
We tried to explain about Frank Lloyd Wright and his Design Philosophy and prominent design styles adopted in their building designs.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2. Life of Frank Lloyd Wright
Charismatic, opinionated, arrogant,
genius
Architect, interior designer, art
dealer, fashion designer
He would design everything about the
interior of the house
Furniture, artistic glass, accessories
Would often include artwork he
procured as an art dealer
Even fashioned garments for the lady
of the house to match the theme of
the house
3. Married three times
First wife “Kitty” while at Adler and Sullivan in 1889
Lasted for over 20 years
Had six children
Ran away with a client’s wife – Mamah Cheney
Spent a year in Europe before returning to Chicago
Studied classical architecture
Lived in Italy
Built Taliesin in Wisconsin
Mamah was murdered
Second wife was “Miriam” in 1923
Lasted only a year
Morphine addict
Third wife was Olgivanna in 1928
Married to her until his death
4. Important works
Edgar J. Kaufman house at Bear
Run, Pennsylvania
Known as Fallingwater
Incorporated Wright’s organic
style with the trending
“international style” that was
emerging from Europe
May have been created due to a
slight by the Museum of
Modern Art
Also said that Wright had over
nine months to design the
house, but no plans had been
drawn up until four hours
before the client was to arrive
and check the progress
5.
6. Imperial Hotel in Tokyo, Japan
Wright’s first international commission
Designed to blend traditional Japanese architecture with modern,
style designs
Underwent many changes during the decade long building process
Final plans mimic Mount Fujiyama
Built on a drained marsh
Wright was worried about earthquakes
Developed avant‐garde engineering techniques to protect the structure
from damage
Likened to a ship riding on the ocean
Rooms were small and economical instead of grand and spacious
7.
8. Taliesin and Taliesin West
Taliesin was built in Hillside, Wisconsin
Initially was supposed to be a house for his mother
Built as an investigation into meditation on nature through
architectural design
Had to be rebuilt three times because of fire
Almost a sketchbook of Wright’s ever‐changing style
Many redesigns, additions, elaborations, and alterations
The beginning location of the Taliesin Fellowship
Taliesin was foreclosed on several times
9. Taliesin West was built in the Arizona
foothills outside of Phoenix, Arizona
Built late in Wright’s life
Combined many of the styles and
experience Wright had developed
Very similar to Fallingwater
Both deal in permanence and
impermanence
Both are designed in reaction to the
international style
Both use contrast of materials as a
basis of expression
Whereas Taliesin was founded on unity
and singularity, Taliesin West was based
on diversity and complementarity
Angular, rough, composed of
primitive rubble walls
Seems strange and enigmatic
Provides an aura of mysticism and
leaves guests with a feeling of
visiting the “extraordinary”
10.
11. Usonian Houses
Wright was approached and asked to design an affordable, practical
home for the average middle class family
Should cost no more than $5,000
Built on a concrete slab, eliminate both basement and attic
Open, flowing design of the interior taken from prairie style
Bedrooms were small to make people gather in the living areas
Furnishings were largely built in
In line with Arts and Crafts movement from early in Wright’s career
Featured new approaches to construction
Experimented with rectangles, triangles, hexagons and circles
Used “sandwich” walls made of layers of wood siding and building paper
with plywood cores
Most of the furnishings were built of plywood with cushions
Shelves were built in to reduce clutter
Everything was easy to disassemble and move if the client’s needs changed
Set a new style for suburban design
The new model for independent suburban living
Open plans, slab foundations, simplified construction techniques
Copied by countless developers
12.
13. Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, 5th Avenue,
New York City
Started in 1943 and took over 16 years to finish
Last great work of Wright’s life and most
recognized masterpiece
Completed six months after his death in 1959
Created to be a home for Guggenheim’s
collection of contemporary abstract art
Wright worked closely with Hilla Rebay,
Guggenheim’s curator and director of the
Guggenheim foundation
Based on nature
Uses the circle and spiral
Inside resembles a seashell
Gently sloping spiral ramp
Open interior
Completely unexpected
Wright said to Guggenheim and Rebay “the whole
thing will either throw you off your guard entirely or
be just about what you have been dreaming about”
