Frank Lloyd Wright (born Frank Lincoln Wright, June 8,
1867 – April 9, 1959) was an American architect,
interior designer, writer and educator, who designed
more than 1,000 projects, which resulted in more than
500 completed works. Wright promoted organic
architecture (exemplified by Fallingwater), was a leader
of the Prairie School movement of architecture
(exemplified by the Robie House and the Westcott House),
and developed the concept of the Usonian home
(exemplified by the Rosenbaum House). His work includes
original and innovative examples of many different
building types, including offices, churches, schools,
sky scrapers, hotels, and museums. Wright also often
designed many of the interior elements of his buildings,
such as the furniture and stained glass.
Wright authored 20 books and many articles, and was a
popular lecturer in the United States and in Europe. His
colorful personal life often made headlines, most
notably for the 1914 fire and murders at his Taliesin
studio.
