Frank Lloyd Wright, born Frank Lincoln Wright before taking the name of his family in Wisconsin, was an American architect, interior designer, writer and educator. His main goal was to promote organic architecture. He completed 500 works in his lifetime, some being the Guggenheim and the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo. Aside from being a brilliant designer, his life was filled with turmoil. Always spending too much money, never having enough, taking many mistresses, one who was brutally murdered by a servant.

My favorite pieces of architecture were his prairie houses that he had done for families all over the United States. They are wonderfully organic, and filled with his own furniture designs, window designs etc...
