The January-February issue of
the North Carolina Architect has
an article by Ernest Wood “As
The Decade Turns....Architec
ture Changes Directions.” North
Carolina Architect selected 14
architects, some with special
expertise and some in general
practice and asked them to
reflect on the state of the art. One
of the 14 architects selected was
Ligon B. Flynn of Wilmington
who is the son of Mr. and Mrs.
Broadus B. Flynn of Tryon. This
is what Mr. Flynn had to say:
“If architecture is an art, then
it must by definition involve a
personal interpretation by the
architect. Some firms are more
involved in personal expressions
than are others. But for those
that are, a period of change in
architecture has a different
meaning. Ligon Flynn is one of
those architects. “I think we are
a good deal more involved than
the average firm in personal
interpretation of a problem,” he
says. “We concern ourselves with
real values...the world that
people respond to as opposed to
abstract ideas.”
To such an architect, some of
today’s changing ideas are more
important than others. Flynn
dismisses Post-Modernism as
something “which begins ab
stract and ends up with a set of
rules.” He prefers instead to
begin with hard realities: the
site, program and budget, and to
interpret them as needed. He
maintains that one building’s
components are not that different

from another’s — except in how
they are put together. He has
tried active solar but thinks
passive is more useful in North
Carolin’s climate. He recognizes
the need for handicapped access
and historic preservation but
sees them as just more pieces in a
larger puzzle.
Some of these pieces were not
considered important in the past;
some will not be considered
important in the future. But, says
Flynn: “I don’t think we ever
forget anything that we ever
thought was important.” What
he’s doing is trying to fit these
elements into a personal design
philosophy. “Yes”, he says, “all
those things are there, but they
only modify things. They don’t
have any wholesale effect.”
