Frank Lloyd Wright

Frank Lloyd Wright (1867 – 1959) was a renowned architect from the USA known for his innovative geometric-shaped designs that harmonise architecture with the natural environment. While primarily an architect, Wright’s influence extended into the art world through his concepts of organic architecture and his use of geometric forms. His architectural style is characterised by the integration of buildings with their surroundings, the use of natural materials, and the incorporation of open interior spaces. Wright primarily worked with materials such as concrete, wood, and glass, employing techniques that emphasised simplicity, functionality, and a close relationship with nature. His work is associated with the Prairie School and Modernism movements, where he played a crucial role in shaping 20th-century architecture.
