Ken Dahlin, a nationally award‑winning architect, scholar, and author, is widely recognized for his expertise in organic architecture. Ken - PhD, AIA, NCARB of Genesis Architecture LLC - is the author of the 2025 Routledge publication Frank Lloyd Wright and the Path to Beauty. In this program, Ken will illuminate what Frank Lloyd Wright truly meant by organic architecture—a concept often invoked, yet frequently misunderstood—and explore the foundational principles Wright articulated that remain as powerful and relevant today as when they were first conceived.

Through examples and thoughtful insight, Ken will demonstrate how these principles continue to guide a more humane, sustainable, and genuinely beautiful approach to architecture and the built environment in the 21st century.

During his presentation, Ken will introduce the three college student award winners of the Wright Now Student Design Competition, now in its second year. Each student will present their award‑winning work, offering fresh perspectives on how Wright’s principles of organic architecture can be meaningfully reinterpreted by the next generation of designers.

The Wright Now Student Design Competition is a juried design competition open to undergraduate students and is presented in collaboration with the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee School of Architecture, the University of Wisconsin–Madison Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, and the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation / Wright in Wisconsin Incorporated.
