Who is Frank Lloyd Wright?

Wright was one of the most celebrated architects of the twentieth-century, period. He was able to develop a distinctly American form of architecture by experimenting with materials and making sure that each building or structure he created was designed in a way that could make a difference in our lives. He is credited with developing 'Prairie Style' where the emphasis is placed on blurring the distinction between interior and exterior spaces.
