Frank Lloyd Wright | His philosophy of Architecture
Posted by BenzuJK in Biographies on February 17, 2010
“ A great architect is not made by way of a brain nearly so much as he is made by way of a cultivated, enriched heart”.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Frank Lloyd Wright was born on June 8, 1867 in Richland Centre, Wiscosin. Wright contributed the ‘Prairie’ and ‘Usonian’ styles to American residential architecture. Elements of his designs can be found in a large proportion of homes built today.
Wright studied civil engineering briefly at the University of Wisconsin. At 20 years of age, he joined a Chicago architectural firm as a draftsman. Wright eventually became chief draftsman and supervised the firm’s residential designs. Wright started his own firm in 1893, and began developing ideas for his ‘Prairie House’ Concept.

Solomon Guggenheim Spiral Museum | Frank Lloyd Wright’s Masterpiece
Posted by BenzuJK in Architecture on December 18, 2009
This project is a Masterpiece. It was designed by the Great Architect Frank Lloyd Wright in the early forties.
Althought the design process started in 1943, Wright’s inverted-ziggurat design was not built until 1959. There were a number of reasons for the delay. Architect Wright had to produce six separate sets of plans and 749 drawings before one was finalized.
