Frank Lloyd Wright

Frank Lloyd Wright was a highly celebrated American architect and non-fiction author, who is widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in the history of American architecture. Born in Wisconsin, Wright began his career in Chicago after completing his civil engineering education at the University of Wisconsin. He started his professional career working under Louis Henry Sullivan, where he developed a keen interest in designing practical spaces. This interest eventually led to the creation of his signature Prairie-Style buildings, which featured porches and terraces that allowed for a seamless flow between the indoor and outdoor spaces.

Wright's personal life was marked by several challenges, including personal tragedy, neglect, and misunderstanding. However, he managed to overcome these obstacles and went on to achieve great wealth and respect among his peers in his later life. Aside from his architecture, Wright was also a prolific writer and authored several books that reflected his passion and dedication to matters of organic architecture, creativity, and democracy.

Frank Lloyd Wright was not only famous in America but also around the world for his highly individual styles and designs. He influenced the design of buildings all over the world and remains America's most famous architect to this day. Wright's colorful personal life also frequently made headlines, most notably for the failure of his first two marriages and for the 1914 fire and murders at his Taliesin studio. Despite these challenges, Wright's contributions to the field of architecture and his impact on the design of buildings around the world have ensured his enduring legacy as one of the most influential architects in history.
