Brad Pitt narrates documentary on Frank Lloyd Wright's Unity Temple restoration

Unity Temple, a Frank Lloyd Wright building in Oak Park, Illinois, built between 1906 and 1909, was added to the UNESCO World Heritage site "The 20th-Century Architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright" in 2019. The concrete monolith, illuminated by a skylight and colored glass windows, still serves the Unitarian Universalist congregation that commissioned it. In 1973, the Unity Temple Restoration Foundation (UTRF) was established to preserve the structure. A major restoration from 2015 to 2017, costing $25 million, repaired degraded concrete, damaged plaster, the skylight, wood fixtures, and artistic glass, and installed new heating and air conditioning systems. The project received awards from preservation entities. The documentary "Unity Temple: Frank Lloyd Wright's Modern Masterpiece," produced by Lauren Levine Media in collaboration with UTRF, chronicles the restoration efforts over 55 minutes. Narrated by actor Brad Pitt, the film highlights Wright's first public commission and the choices made to preserve its distinctive features for future generations.
