Frank Lloyd Wright


Biography:
Frank Lloyd Wright was one of the most influent architects in the 20th Century. Borned in Oak Park, Illinois he started to feel a desire for construction. He studied ingeneering at Wisconsin University and left with his father's death. He went to Chicago where the architects Alder and Sullivan hired him as a draughtsman.

Style:
He is well known for being a specialist in organic architecture as we can see it in the fallingwater. He integrates nature in his projects and he is able not to lose functionality, but to even make it more efficient. 
He also rejects the idea, at his time, of making the rooms isolated from one and other. In order to give more amplitude and to aquire a futuristic style at those times, he connected each room. For these reasons and his revolutionary ideas, he was considered a "bad influence" to architecture by some architects, however, nowadays is considered one of the pioneers in modern architecture and even on the present day his projects seem quite up dated.
