	Roland Wank Information
		Roland Wank (1898–1970) was a Hungarian modernist architect, best known for his work for the Tennessee Valley Authority in the United States.
		Wank was recruited by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) in 1933 as that organization's first chief architect.
		At the Fontana Dam, Wank collaborated with well-known industrial architect Albert Kahn on the design of "A-6" prefabricated house types in the workers' town of Fontana, North Carolina, meant to house 5000 workers.

	TVA: Design for the Public Good
		Wank was successful in the years after World War I, helping to design factories, bridges, and power plants.
		Wank was assigned to help with the design of Norris, the model community TVA built to house the workers constructing Norris Dam in east Tennessee.
		Director David Lilienthal was so impressed with Wank’s work on the Norris housing that one day, the story goes, he handed the architect a copy of the plans for Norris Dam itself, already designed by federal engineers with pure functionalism in mind.

	TN Encyclopedia: NORRIS DAM
		Wank felt that the unimaginative and heavy appearance of the bureau's design lacked the simplicity that should characterize TVA work, and he proposed a sculptural recasting of the dam's elements, pulling the powerhouse and spillway face into a coherent composition.
		Wank tried to make the dam look as functional as the engineers had designed it to be, even though the engineers were not pleased with his result.
		The distinguished industrial architect Albert Kahn was asked to choose between the original design and Wank's proposal, and his vote for Wank's scheme was subsequently upheld by the TVA Board, thus starting the TVA on a course of modern design that would characterize all the authority's projects through the end of the 1950s.

	TVA: Design for the Public Good
		As TVA brought public power to the Tennessee Valley, TVA architect Roland Wank put design to work for the people.
		It’s not surprising that TVA recruited Wank at its founding in 1933.
		Wank’s straightforward, uncluttered design is apparent even in the massive doors of the Norris powerhouse.

		The boss was David Lilienthal, the young and ambitious first director of the Tennessee Valley Authority, one of the three Roosevelt appointees with sweeping power over the 201 counties in the Tennessee River drainage basin.
		According to Marian Moffett of the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, "Wank felt that the unimaginative and heavy appearance of the bureau's design lacked the simplicity that should characterize TVA work, and he proposed a sculptural recasting of the dam's elements, pulling the powerhouse and spillway face into a coherent composition.
		Wank eventually returned to the New York offices of Fellheimer and Wagner, took over the office of Fellheimer and Wagner, which became the offices of Wank, Adams, Slavin, and they are still around.

	SMHS - The Historic Architecture of Sevier County, Tennessee
		Wank, the TVA’s chief architect in the 1930s and 1940s, designed the Douglas Dam, which was constructed in record time during World War II along the French Broad River.
		Originally from Hungary, Wank has emerged as one of America’s most exceptional architects from the early twentieth century, and his remarkable TVA dams are considered international architectural and engineering landmarks.
		Although Sevier County has many excellent architect-designed buildings, the large majority are common farmhouses built by yeoman farmers and planters in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

	TN Encyclopedia: NORRIS FREEWAY
		TVA limited billboards and commercial uses along the freeway for aesthetic reasons and required 75-foot construction setbacks.
		In the mid-1930s the TVA's architectural department, headed by Roland Wank, drew international attention for its planning and designs.
		European interpretations of Art Deco and Moderne styles had greatly influenced Wank, and he deliberately designed the TVA's public structures in a manner that did not replicate regional or even traditional architectural styles, but rather emphasized the TVA's view of itself as an experimental, modern, and forward-looking agency.

		Roland then went on to give more generalisations about how much better women are than men, while we continued to simper.

		The problem was, the hardscrabble people of the river basin weren’t keen on changing their way of life, and Americans were of two minds about whether public utilities should be government owned.
		To court a skeptical public, Hungarian-born, Bauhaus-affiliated architect Roland Wank—now unjustly sunk into relative obscurity—was commissioned to head the TVA design team, and he set about to woo people with an avant-garde vision of unornamented efficiency reflected in “brute, geometric architecture.”

		However, it is not the oldest dam owned and operated by TVA, which subsequently purchased the assets of the former Tennessee Electric Power Company, including some dams which were built earlier.
		Hungarian-American architect Roland Wank revised the initial plans from Bureau of Reclamation engineers, and gave the poured-concrete Norris Dam a modernist style that was controversial, advanced for this time and place, and landed Wank the job of Chief Architect for the TVA from 1933 through 1944.
		The dam was completed in March, 1936, constructed at a cost of $36 million.

	That Brutal Joint :: Tennessee Valley Architecture (Site not responding. Last check: )
		In addition to an interesting and previously unpublished interview with the architect Fay Jones (designer of Thorncrown Chapel) it includes a piece by Tom Vanderbilt on the monumental works of architecture and civil engineering by the Tennessee Valley Authority and its chief architect, Roland Wank.
		Vanderbilt suggests that although Wank has not received the same degree of historical notice as Rudolph Schindler or Richard Neutra, his work was just as influential:
		The cyclic flow of water brought about a wonderful regeneration; men found again abundance and the promise of joy.” Later Le Corbusier buildings, like the monastery at La Tourette, reveled in concrete, which suggests his veneration toward the TVA actually took root in his work.
