Frank Lloyd Wright

-->

I find Frank Lloyd Wright's home, Taliesin West one of his most interesting designs. His angled walls are intriguing and his house mostly interests me because it is so close to the ground yet not uncomfortable to live in. His scale of his buildings are completely different than what other architects tend to use.  Frank Lloyd Wright has been a major influence on this century’s love affair with modernism. He focused on “form follows function” meaning the design should be built for its purpose and used few materials. Modern architects followed this clarity of forms to rid of any unnecessary detail and focus on simplicity. Although these buildings tend to be simple, they are still showing visual expression of the structure. Often, these buildings used more natural light than had been seen before. Also, he emphasized the use of rectangular shapes and vertical and horizontal lines in their structures.
