Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) is recognized worldwide as one of the greatest architects of the twentieth century. His work heralded a new thinking in architecture, using innovation in design and engineering made possible by newly developed technology and materials. His creative ability extended far beyond the border of architecture to graphic design, furniture, art glass, textiles, and decorative elements for the home.

Wright impacted the world with his visionary architectural designs and defined the principles of what he called "organic architecture." He changed the way architecture served humanity. All manners of his building designs — residential and non-residential — were based on his concept of Organic Architecture — an architecture appropriate to time, place, and man.
