Frank Lloyd Wright - American Architect



His architectural design of buildings and houses are unlike any of the common houses that are lined up in the suburbs of America. It sticks out like sore thumb, but in a good way. His design mostly consists of straight clean lines, a very contemporary concept. For example, the Fallingwater estate in Pennsylvania, almost looks like it was built in the 21st century.







There’s a clear contrast between the clean lines and the leaves of the trees. Nature is much busier compared to the design of the house, but it works, it creates a calm and serene living space. I would definitely live in a house he designed.






He also designed the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo


In this building, Wright managed to take Japanese and American design to mix perfectly. The overhanging flat roof is his design, mixed with the traditional pointed tops. Also, the building is symmetrical. This is also similar to the Taj Mahal, how the building is reflected of the pool of water in front of it and the pathway on both sides.ng, Wright managed to take Japanese and American design to mix perfectly.
