In the world of American architecture, one name stands apart: Frank Lloyd Wright.
Wright breathed life into organic architecture, an approach to building with an eye always fixed on the structure’s natural surroundings, grounded in simplicity and function above all else.
Dubbed by the American Institute of Architects as the “greatest American architect of all time,” Wright designed more than 1,100 buildings, 532 of which were eventually built. From his early designs in the low-slung Prairie School style to the efficient, affordable Usonian style inspired by the Great Depression, everything Wright created aimed to create spaces that he described as “eloquent and humane.”
