                                   Frank Lloyd Wright

One of the world’s most prominent architects, Frank Lloyd Wright developed a series of highly individual styles over his extraordinarily long architectural career. And in doing so, he influenced the entire course of architecture and building internationally. The modern rambler style home, which is so common today, was his innovation. He often built his houses and buildings using locally available organic materials and volunteer help. His colorful personal life, filled with fights, fires, infidelities, and murders, frequently made news headlines. To this day, he remains America’s most famous architect.

“Organic architecture seeks superior sense of use and a finer sense of comfort, expressed in organic simplicity.”

“The heart is the chief feature of a functioning mind.”

“Nature is my manifestation of God. I go to nature every day for inspiration in the day’s work. I follow in building the principles which nature has used in its domain.”

“Study nature, love nature, stay close to nature. It will never fail you.”

“The architect must be a prophet . . . a prophet in the true sense of the term . . . if he can’t see at least ten years ahead don’t call him an architect.”

“Art for art’s sake is a philosophy of the well-fed.”

“No house should ever be on a hill or on anything. It should be of the hill. Belonging to it. Hill and house should live together each the happier for the other.”

- Frank Lloyd Wright  (1867-1959)

- Frank Lloyd Wright  (1867-1959)
