Learn how Milton Keynes’ development was influenced by Frank Lloyd Wright

Posted on by

Ever wondered which Milton Keynes buildings are influenced by one of the world’s most visionary architects? 

Tim Skelton.

You can find out in a presentation by retired Milton Keynes Development Corporation Chartered Surveyor Tim Skelton at St Mary Magdalene Church, Willen, on Friday June 19 when he reveals how Frank Lloyd Wright, creator of some of the most iconic buildings of the 20th century,  helped shape architecture in our own city.

Learn to spot the Milton Keynes landmarks which echo his ideas and get a fresh appreciation of the city we call home.

All donations will go to repairing the church tower at Willen. Drinks will be available.

Wright wrote in 1937: “Building upon the land is as natural to man as to other animals, birds or insects.” Wright believed architecture is formed by the human spirit, and that a mere building does not know this spirit. As Wright stated: “We must perceive architecture, if we are to understand it at all, to be a spirit of the spirit of man that will live as long as man lives.”

Don’t be surprised if you see a, hopefully, large group of people on the redways in our part of the city on Saturday July 4 . It has nothing to do with American Independence Day but will be members of each of our churches taking part in a revived Partnership Pilgrimage.

They will be stopping off at each our six churches, starting at St Mary Magdelene in the morning and finishing at Bradwell Church in the afternoon.

Full details of this and other events in the Partnership can be found in the June SEP newsletter which is available to download here.
