Looks like foam to me!
The cavity within the wall is being filled with open celled spray foam insulation. Wright originally kept this space open with no insulation, the intent being to allow any water that entered through his porous block to travel down the inside of the wall and escape at the bottom. The grooves between the blocks themselves are being grouted, which follows the original details that Wright used elsewhere on the campus.
