Russel Wright is an American industrial designer and architect that lived during the early to mid twentieth century. Many of Wright’s ideas and designs were considered to modern at time, drawing influences from not only ingenious designers like Frank Lloyd Wright but nature as well. Wright’s influences would lead him to create a design style unlike any at the time; a style that would eventually become almost standard in many homes in the United States. The designer Russel Wright and his wife, Mary Wright together published a guidebook known as Guide to Easier Living. In it contains numerous suggestions and thoughts on home architecture, interior design, as well as product design. Many of the thoughts and suggestions conveyed in the book can be seen in present-day design and architecture. Wright’s book also laid the groundwork for his home, Dragon Rock, which of itself possesses elements of design that are seen in today’s homes. Russel Wright’s Guide to Easier Living is clearly a response to interior design at the time; containing numerous design ideas, Wrights guide influences Wright’s own future works.

Those of us who are now here carry on the vision of people like Don Hanauer, former Director of Operations for St. Albans. He saw the beauty in this building and had a vision of restoring it to its former glory. As outlined in the final chapter of this book, we have worked on a number of special events developed to generate funding for the structure’s restoration.

Interior design and architecture are essential, and often overlooked, aspects of everyday life. In modern society people rely on function, durability, and visual appeal when selecting designs for their homes, businesses, and places of leisure. The way that a space is designed influences such things as mood, which, in the case of a business, can impact the productivity of employees and either draw or repel customers. In residential design, the design becomes very personal and, to be considered a successful design, must properly reflect the home owner while at the same time offering some practicality that makes the space livable. An effective design, for any space, must solve some problem, be it function, flexibility, or some other criteria. Simply solving a problem would not please the customer, however, unless it offered some visual appeal. Creating function with style is the real job of any interior designer, and is essential in a content society.

Despite my butchering of the concept, he’s been working on buildings that can have one part replaced at a time while staying structurally sound. His village moves place to place every 20 years or so, and likes being able to avoid unseemly ruins. Sometimes their buildings begin to decay however before they’re ready.

Throughout history, many inventors and free thinkers have helped the world to evolve and become what it is today. Howard Roark’s independent thinking hinders his career but modernizes architectural design. Roark creates his own style instead of sticking to classical design like other architects. He builds buildings and homes that no one ever has thought of and known to be possible. Roark may be paving the way for future architects but many free thinkers in history have changed our society and the world we know today.

As the General Manager, Ray oversees all aspects of the office and construction staff. However, all of this didn’t begin till the age of 19 years old, when Ray made the choice to start his career in the construction business as a painter. Over time, he developed the skills needed and became a gifted lead carpenter. Gradually, his experience and knowledge continued to expand virtually in all areas of construction and project management. Ray has since honed on this experience, forming strengths and leadership qualities that helped him into becoming the General Manager of Hopkins & Porter Construction. Ray’s main goal for the Hopkins & Porter team is to take a client’s dream and make it a reality. A great design is useless unless you can build
