Frank Lloyd Wright (June 8, 1867 April 9, 1959) was an American architect, designer, writer, and educator. He designed more than 1,000 structures over a creative period of 70 years. Wright played a key role in the architectural movements of the twentieth century, influencing architects worldwide through his works and hundreds of apprentices in his Taliesin Fellowship. Wright believed in designing in harmony with humanity and the environment, a philosophy he called organic architecture. This philosophy was exemplified in Fallingwater (1935), which has been called "the best all-time work of American architecture". Selected writing of Wright on the subject of architecture. Here are expressed all of the famous concepts which have come to mean modern architecture: functional design, cantilever construction, the exploration of scale and proportion, the organic concept of space, the fresh expression of building materials, the exalted idea of lyric construction, the development of new and significant forms, and the humanization of buildings.

Frederick Albert Gutheim (March 3, 1908 October 2, 1993) was an urban planner and historian, architect, and author. He is noted for writing The Potomac, a history of the Potomac River and the 40th volume in the Rivers of America Series, and Worthy of the Nation a history of the development of Washington, D.C. Gutheim did graduate work at the University of Chicago. In addition to writing many books, Gutheim served as the staff director of the joint congressional committee on Washington Metropolitan Problems and was the president of the Washington Center for Metropolitan Studies. He was also on the JFK's Advisory Council on Pennsylvania Avenue and the National Capital Regional Planning Council. While serving on these committees, he wrote articles for the New York Herald Tribune, Progressive Architecture, Inland Architect and the Washington Post. Gutheim taught or held administrator positions as the University of Michigan, Williams College, George Washington University, and the Harvard Graduate School of Design. The pinnacle of his career may have been the photographic exhibition at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. that he created of American architecture to celebrate 100th anniversary of the American Institute of Architects. The exhibition was heralded as an important landmark in American architecture, journalism, and academia. Wilcomb E. Washburn (1925 1 February 1997) was an American historian. Washburn received a bachelor's degree from Dartmouth College, and the same year received his Ph.D. in the History of American Civilization from Harvard University. For three years he taught history at the College of William and Mary. In 1958, he joined the Smithsonian Institution, as curator of Political History at the National Museum of American History. Later, he became chair of the Department of American Studies. From 1968 until 1997, he served as a director for the Smithsonian's American Studies Program. Washburn wrote six books and contributed to two others. He also wrote 200 journal articles, and contributed chapters to various anthologies. The Smithsonian Institution was proud to sponsor, in cooperation with the national Capital Planning Commission and the Commission of Fine Arts, the exhibition on The Federal City: Plans and Realities. The exhibition was about planning Washington, and in particular about planning the development of the monumental core as designed by Pierre L'Enfant. The Mall, where the Smithsonian is situations, constitutes the heart of the monumental core, and visitors to the Smithsonian, as they cross between museums, base as the principal foci planned by L'Enfant: The Capitol and the Washington Monument. Yet, in spite of its serene and stately appearance, the Mall area and how it should be treated in function, in landscaping , ad in building have been points of continued controversy and debate since the very beginning. The Smithsonian, under its first Secretary, Joseph Henry, played a key role in reactivating a comprehensive plan for the capital in the 1850;s The exhibition The Federal City: Plans and Realities was housed in the Great Hall of James Renwicks; Smithsonian Institution building and was there for about two years.
