Frank Lloyd Wright, born on 8 June 1867, in Richland Center, Wisconsin, U.S., was an American architect, designer, writer, and educator. He designed more than 1,000 structures over a creative period of 70 years.
A defining figure in 20th-century architecture, Frank Lloyd Wright (1867 – 1959) is one of a handful of masters who shaped the world of architecture as we know it today, influencing it as few others did. His name crosses boundaries and disciplines, breaking out of the sometimes-introspective world of architecture to touch on art, design and the way we live. With his roots in residential architecture, and his rich portfolio being instrumental in the development of modernist architecture, this is a creative that was both meticulous and versatile; organic and highly refined. By the time of his death, he completed hundreds of projects in the US and abroad.
Frank Lloyd Wright’s work ranges
from sprawling Prairie houses of the American countryside to more compact urban
Usonian homes, and of course, the instantly recognizable, flagship modernism of Fallingwater
and the New York Guggenheim, which have since become shorthand for the
entire mid-century movement. At the same time, he wrote and taught,
famously founding Taliesin West, a laboratory of architecture operating to this
day.
