Architecture- Frank Lloyd Wright.

Frank Lloyd Wright

Frank Lloyd Wright is a well known architect who has influenced alot of American architecture dating back to the 1800s. Using art deco he added value in adding local materials.
Some of his work include 'Falling Water'. This particular design incorporated the waterfall as a feature of the household. He also used a great extent of geometry- art deco, in the buildings he designed.

His influences included Louis Sullivan. 'It was Louis Sullivan who taught Frank Lloyd Wright that the form of a building should express its underlying function.' Additionally, having worked for Sullivan, alot of Sullivan's works influenced Lloyd's thinking, and so, developing his own style.
Due to Sullivan's uniqueness and creativity, it encouraged Frank Lloyd's independence of thought and daring ideas.

As Sullivan influenced Frank Lloyd, Lloyd was able to influence up-coming archtitects from his time.
This included, one of Seattle's popular architects known as Ellsworth Storey. Influenced by the Arts & Craft movement (which included Frank Lloyd Wright), he also added alot of European and North African styles to his works. This was intergrated in his artworks, and as shown below, you can see the influences displayed by Lloyd, such as the use of geometry. Storey also used local materials in order for the buildings to blend in with its surroundings rather than fighting its landscape.
