Today I will be researching Frank Lloyd Wright
Frank Lloyd Wright is a famous American architect, designer, writer and educator. He designed more than 1000 constructions during his 70-year life. Wright changed the way we build and live. In the first decade of the twentieth century, Wright created a new approach to vernacular architecture, the Prairie Style, in his Oak Park studio. With a career spanning seven decades before his death in 1959, Wright's visionary work cemented his place as the American Institute of Architects' "greatest American architect of all time."
“The mission of an architect is to help people understand how to make life more beautiful, the world a better one for living in, and to give reason, rhyme, and meaning to life.”
Frank Lloyd Wright, 1957
Fallingwater, built by architect Frank Lloyd Wright in 1935 over a waterfall at Bear Run in the Laurel Mountains of southwestern Pennsylvania, 70 miles southeast of Pittsburgh, United States, was one of the most famous projects of its time.
Prairie Style is characterized by an emphasis on the horizontal rather than the vertical. Buildings are sprawling, with flat or shallow-pitched rooflines, rows of windows, overhanging cornices, and bands of stone, wood, or brick across the surface.
