Frank Lloyd Wright 1867 – 1959
One of the most prominent and influential architects of the first half
of the 20th century.To this day he is easily America's most famous
architect (topping Philip Johnson, Paul Laszlo,Richard Neutra, and
Louis Kahn) and still extremely well-known in the public eye.
Frank Lloyd Wright was born in the
agricultural town of Richland Center, Wisconsin , United States , on
June 8 , 1867 , just two years after the end of the American Civil War
. He was brought up with strong Unitarian and transcendental principles
(eventually, in 1905, he would design the Unity Temple in Oak Park ,
Illinois ).
As a child he spent a great deal
of time playing with the kindergarten educational blocks by Friedrich
Wilhelm August Froebel (known as Froebel Gifts ) given to him by his
mother. These consisted of various geometrically shaped blocks that
could be assembled in various combinations to form three-dimensional
compositions. Wright in his autobiography talks about the influence of
these exercises on his approach to design. Many of his buildings are
notable for the geometrical clarity they exhibit.
