LLOYD WRIGHT Frank

Originally from Wisconsin, Frank Lloyd Wright is one of the most famous American architects. After his training, he became the assistant of the architect Louis Sullivan, the father of the skyscraper. Wright then established himself and developed the Prairie style, with characteristics marked by low, brick constructions, open interior spaces, forming an organic architecture applied to residential housing and commercial buildings. His house in the Chicago suburb of Oak Park is considered his first architectural jewel. In 1893, he built the Winslow House with its open and horizontal interior spaces, an example of his organic architecture. Author of more than 400 projects over more than seven decades, Frank Lloyd Wright revolutionized the spaces of domestic life thanks to iconic architectures: the House on the waterfall (Fallingwater) for Edgar J. Kaufmann in Pennsylvania, or the Guggenheim museum in New York.
