Frank Llyod Wright, Architect

     Frank Llyod Wright

     Frank Llyod Wright, was a remarkable architect who inspired many of his time. His master pieces 

whom many study even until this day are considered monuments even by the untrained artists eye. Born

in the city of Richland Center, Wisconsin; studying at Wisconsin Madison Wright would soon embark

upon a number of brilliant pieces from a simple chair to the massive Price Tower in Bartlesville,

Oklahoma.

     Of his artworks the first I will depict is Grady Gammage Memorial Auditorium located in Tempe,

Arizona.  The completion of this structure was in 1964; the building stands on an area in which is quite

vast and is an open scenery, in which it feels very inviting for those who arrive to the building. The feel

of openness makes it seem like a center piece for the university. The design is quite abstract for a
building; like any other building its structure is simple line mesh making the building appear modern.

The use of linear shapes together with round shapes gives a contrast, making it more appealing to the

viewer. The feeling I received just by looking on the outside seemed like the structure was ahead of its

time  and to have seen it right after its construction would have given anyone a glimpse into the future.

     The next piece which is my personal favorite and I am sure would be many others is, "Falling

Water". The fact that astounds me the most about this structure is its year of completion being in 1935.

Even today, this piece considered, "modern" and is quite appreciated even by that of the common eye.

This piece is remarked by American Institute of Architects as, "best all-time work of architecture". The

use of prairie style design which is the linear roofing, gives the home its style. The house built on the

rivers waterfall and is camouflaged into its surrounding because of the structure style and element of

color.
