Yikes! They’re Selling Off Parts of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Historic Price Tower

Yikes! They’re Selling Off Parts of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Historic Price Tower Owners of the building are allegedly in breach of a preservation easement.

It is with sadness that we share the loss of longtime AIA member, John Robison.

Today, we want to take a moment to honor John Robison, a man who had an integral role in the Paseo's legacy.

John was a recognized architect and one of the biggest advocates of the Paseo, helping it develop into a thriving environment for the arts. In 1975, he founded his business, Robison & Associates Architects, in the heart of the Paseo. At the same time, he would become the owner of Paseo Gallery One and operate both businesses in the same building. Today, Paseo Gallery One is one of the longest-running galleries and has become a cornerstone for visitors in the district. John also served on the Paseo Arts Association board for 20 years before being made a lifetime member.

Rest in Peace, John Robison. Your history in the district will not be forgotten. We will be happy to pass along service information as soon as we receive it.

Please join us live for this CEU Webinar sponsored by BQE. Architects are uniquely positioned to innovate and lead, yet they often find themselves bogged down by their day-to-day demands.

This webinar is designed to empower architects by introducing them to innovative strategies and tools that can revolutionize their work habits, increase productivity, and enhance overall job satisfaction.

Inspired by Tim Ferriss' The 4-Hour Workweek, this session will focus on practical applications within the AE industry, highlighting how to optimize workflows, delegate effectively, leverage technology, and create a more balanced, fulfilling professional life.
