Frank Lloyd Wright

Frank Lloyd Wright was a prominent architect and interior designer in the United States during the emergence of modernism. Wright designed over 1,000 spaces and more than 500 of them were eventually completed. He was a big believer in creating spaces and buildings that were harmonious with nature and the surrounding they were in. Some of Wrights works can be seen here in Illinois, especially in Oak Park, where he resided a good portion of his life. Below is an image of Frank Lloyd Wrights home and studio located in Oak Park, Illinois.

Another one of his works is called the "Robie House". It was built on the campus of University of Chicago in the Hyde Park neighborhood. The strong horizontal lines were frequently used in Frank Lloyd Wright structures.

Lastly, one of his most well known works is called "Falling Water". It is located in rural Pennsylvania  on top of a water fall. The connection to nature and strong horizontal lines are clearly seen in this specific work.

Modern Application:

This homes strong horizontal lines and integration into the nature surrounding the house, is reminiscent of a Wright home.

This home is also similar to something Wright might have designed, as it is a modern Prairie Style, and Wright was known for his Prairie Style.

Peer Reviews:

The first blog I read was Amanda V's. She gave an excellent review of this time period and of Frank Lloyd Wright. I also really liked the modern application photos that she shared!

I also read Angie B's blog post. She also shared a lot of good information about Frank Lloyd Wright and shared several good pictures of the structures that he completed. I liked how the current application pictures she shared were of interiors.
