ARCHITECT‘s Miabelle Salzano reports that the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) announced its nominations for 2019 additions to its World Heritage List last month. For a nominated site to be selected, the World Heritage Committee must deem a nomination should be of “outstanding universal value” and “meet at least one out of 10 selection criteria” listed on the World Heritage Centre’s Website.
This year’s list of nominations includes a serial nomination of eight Frank Lloyd Wright–designed buildings in the U.S. The selection spans 50 years of Wright’s career and is comprised of Fallingwater in Mill Run, Penn.; the Frederick C. Robie House in Chicago; the Herbert and Katherine Jacobs House in Madison, Wis.; Hollyhock House in Los Angeles; the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York; Taliesin in Spring Green, Wis.; Taliesin West in Scottsdale, Ariz.; and Unity Temple in Oak Park, Ill. The selection was submitted by the National Park Service in November 2018 and will be officially reviewed by the World Heritage Committee in July 2019.
