Edward Delk worked with Frank Lloyd Wright on multiple occasions. the two designed a personal home in Kansas City, and began a project to build a church there as well. However, Wright did not agree with city standards and left the project. Delk continued, following city standards, and finished the church. How incredible it must have been for Delk to work with one of the most decorated architects in history. It is possible Delk was inspired by Wright’s preference for long, flat buildings as opposed to skyscrapers, and incorporated this idea in the Philbrook Villa. I also wonder if Delk gained or lost respect, or was indifferent about Wright’s refusal to comply.
