Frank Lloyd Wright.

Frank Lloyd Wright was born in Wisconsin in 1867 and became an educator, writer, and architect who designed and completed over 500 structures. He began his architectural work with Louis Sullivan, however, they did not enjoy working together, which caused Wright to branch out on his own and start up his own architectural firm.



Wright was very much influenced by the Arts and Crafts Movement, which makes sense since it was a popular moment during this time. Eventually, Wright matured in his designs and formed the Prairie Style which he is most famous for today. Some aspects of the Prairie style were long, low to the ground structures, shallow, sloping roofs, overhangs and a lot of unfinished materials.



Wright would also design some of the interiors inside the homes, such as lighting, furniture, and stained glass, that fit along with his own architectural designs.
