Frank Lloyd Wright

About Frank Lloyd Wright

Frank Lloyd Wright, the influential American architect, pioneered new designs during the Arts and Crafts period which mirrored many of the principles of that movement - simplicity, craftsmanship, and an organic sensibility (buildings that evolved naturally out of their context). Between 1900 and 1917, Wright designed numerous "Prairie Houses," or low buildings with shallow, sloping roofs, and clean lines, using unfinished materials. He also designed furniture, and was a writer and educator.
