Frank Lloyd Wright and his work have become a permanent object of academic study with a wide and often eclectic variety of interpretations and viewpoints. Reissman (1970) for example, has started from the standpoint of Wright as a social revolutionary and has used the biblical metaphor of the prophet on the mount shouting ‘Doom!’ to the urban multitudes below, in order to stress an iconoclastic view of his work. Another sociological position has been represented by Giorgio Ciucci who has indicated Wright as the latest of a long line of critics protesting against the malevolent urban world of contemporary big cities and also preaching a return to the rural origins of the American Republic. Ciucci’s position is best found in his critique of Wright’s major urban project ‘Broadacre City’ (Ciucci, 1975). This view of Wright’s work now puts its object in the conceptual terrain of urbanisation theory with its many and varied ideological representations
