A symposium of distinguished speakers recently met with over 100 participants to celebrate and reflect on the centenary of a major building designed by the great American architect Louis Sullivan. The participants at the event, held in Cedar Rapids, Iowa USA on May 4, included Jon Lipman, AIA, deputy minister of Maharishi Vastu Architecture, along with the director of the Iowa State Historical Society, an architecture critic from the New York Times, and the editor of Iowa Architect magazine.

Sullivan is considered one of the greatest American architects of the late 19th- early 20thth centuries and was mentor to the world-famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright Four of his buildings are found in the state of Iowa. As a past president of the Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservatory, Jon has frequently spoken at symposia devoted to architectural history.

One defining aspect of Sullivan’s work was his commitment to the ideals of transcendentalism as it was propounded by Ralph Waldo Emerson. Sullivan felt he could help the public to the experience of unity with nature--at the core of the transcendentalist ideals--through his building designs. It was to this principle that Jon spoke; he described to the audience that Maharishi Vedic architecture is the fulfillment of this principle because its basis is Natural Law. And, people who live and work in Vastu buildings have the experience of unity with natural law and the environment on a very deep level.

The audience listened with rapt attention as Jon described Maharishi Vedic Architecture as the 21st century’s most significant trend in architecture. Afterward, many expressed a strong desire to come to Fairfield to learn more about Vedic architecture and see its principles in action.  

It is thrilling to see architects and lay people finding the true basis of ideal architecture in the principles of Maharishi Vedic Architecture.
