F. L. Wright (Basic Art Series 2.0)

Frank Lloyd Wright (1867–1959), often called the “father of skyscrapers,” was a visionary American architect who sought to give modern American life an equally modern architectural identity. Designing everything from suburban homes and churches to skyscrapers and the Guggenheim Museum, Wright championed “organic architecture,” a philosophy of harmony between buildings, people, and nature—epitomized by his masterpiece, Fallingwater. He pioneered the use of industrial materials and popularized the simple L- or T-shaped Prairie House plan, which influenced rural architecture across the country. Wright often designed interiors, furniture, and stained glass for his buildings, balancing individual comfort with community spaces. This book offers a concise look at his blend of technological innovation and Romantic ideals, aimed at improving everyday life for middle-class Americans.
