(Frank Lincoln Wright was born, June 8, 1867 – April 9, 1959) was an American architect.

Frank Lloyd Wright was born in the farming town of Richland Center, Wisconsin, United States, in 1867 and named Frank Lincoln Wright

He started his architectural career in Chicago at the age of 19 in the firm of J. Lyman Silsbee

Wright attended a Madison high school, but there is no evidence he ever graduated. He was admitted to the University of Wisconsin–Madison as a special student in 1886. There he joined Phi Delta Theta fraternity, took classes part-time for two semesters, and worked with a professor of civil engineering, Allan D. Conover.

In 1887, Wright left the school without taking a degree (although he was granted an honorary Doctorate of Fine Arts from the University in 1955) and arrived in Chicago in search of employment.

Frank style became the basis of 20th-century residential design in the United States. Frank Lloyd Wright designed about 1,000 structures, some 400 of which were built. He described his "organic architecture" as one that "proceeds, persists, creates, according to the nature of man and his circumstances as they both change.

Awards of Frank Lloyd Wright - Royal Institute of British Architects gold medal, 1939 - American Institute of Architects gold medal, 1949 - Major one-man exhibition at Palazzo Strozzi and gold medal from the city of Florence, 1951 - Honorary degree from the University Institute of Venice, 1951 - National Institute of Arts and Letters gold medal, 1953

 Wright’s most famous home, Falling Water (1935), fuses architecture with surrounding nature.  Wright’sUnityTempleis considered one of the first “modern” buildings because of its shape and use of concrete.

Art Nouveau created organic fluid lines with direct reference to nature.  Antonin Gaudi’s Casa Batllo (1877-1906) and Casa Mila(1905-1910) are two classic examples of this style, although some claim that Gaudi belongs in a genre of his own.

Gaudi’s interiors are curvilinear and so is the furniture; Frank Lloyd Wright used angular lines in his furniture that are inspired by Japanese aesthetics and complement his buildings.
