Frank Lloyd Wright


Frank Lloyd Wright
Text is in English, German and French.

Widely thought to be the greatest American architect, Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) was a true pioneer, both artistically and technically. 

At a time when reinforced concrete and steel were considered industrial building materials, Wright boldly made use of them to build private homes. 

His prairie house concept—that of a low, sprawling home based upon a simple L or T figure—was the driving force behind some of his most famous houses and became a model for rural architecture across America. 

Wright`s designs for office and public buildings were equally groundbreaking and unique. From Fallingwater to New York`s Guggenheim Museum, his works are among the most famous in the history of architecture.
