Camp for Architecture Geeks (Myself Included)

As I was digging out of my email this morning (those East Coast PR firms get an early start), I found this squeal-worthy bit of news: The Frank Lloyd Wright Preservation Trust is offering Architecture Fantasy Camp at Wright’s home and studio in Oak Park, IL from Oct. 3 to 6. Each participants gets to plan and design a structure of their own creation with help from real-life architects. (Camp is only for non-architects.) Maybe you want to build an addition onto your home, or redesign your kitchen. Can you imagine how fabulously inspiring it would be to create the plans for those spaces in Wright’s original drafting room?

I really want to go.

If you want to go, too, check out GoWright.org for more information and to make your reservation.

P.S. I lived in Chicago for six years, and nearby Oak Park is a charming locale. I spent many a happy afternoon leading friends and family members along the walking tour of Wright’s homes, which fill the neighborhood.
