FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT
Frank Lloyd Wright the greatest and most influential of American architects believed that a building, like a living organism must "grow" out of its surrounding. Between 1893 and 1911 he built a number of small suburban houses planned outwards from a central hearth. These "Prairie houses" with their open planning, flying horizontals, and designs which flowed outwards from a central hearth made a great impression on other architects before 1914. Wright despised concrete and steel boxes and prefer to work with nature,
