Alexander Wright was an Irish recipient of the Victoria Cross, the highest and most prestigious award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces.
According to Eric Lloyd Wright, architect and grandson of Wright, "It is a fine review of my grandfather's religious work...it certainly should be seen by the public." A question and answer session with the director, who is presently working on another Wright film, will follow.
Often presented as the ultimate in sprawl, Frank Lloyd Wright's utopian vision for a decentralized America - which he called "Broadacre City" - is potentially a vital contribution to the fight against sprawl.
For Wright envisioned a civilized low-density environment in which limited development would be fully and beautifully integrated into the landscape.
A professor-emeritus (the University of California, Berkeley) and licensed contractor as well as architect, Christopher Alexander (born October 4, 1936 in Vienna, Austria) is noted for his design of building complexes in California, Japan, and Mexico.
Alexander's mathematical concepts and orientation were similar to Edsger Dijkstra's influential A Discipline of Programming.
Will Wright wrote that Alexander's work was influential in the origin of The Sims computer game, and in his current new work.
