The Guggenheim

Frank Lloyd Wright (born June 8, 1867, Richland Center, Wisconsin, U.S.—died April 9, 1959, Phoenix, Arizona), was a notable architect and writer, and an abundantly creative master of American architecture. His distinct style helped him become one of the biggest forces in American architecture. After college, he became chief assistant to architect Louis Sullivan. Wright then founded his own firm and developed a style known as the Prairie School, which strove for an “organic architecture” in designs for homes and commercial buildings. Over his career, he created numerous iconic buildings around the world.
