Part 2/8:
Born in 1867, Frank Lloyd Wright profoundly influenced modern architecture with his philosophy of "organic architecture," emphasizing harmony between human habitation and the natural environment. Throughout his illustrious career spanning over 70 years, Wright created iconic structures like Fallingwater and the Guggenheim Museum, which challenged conventional architectural forms.
Contrary to the perception of Wright solely designing luxurious homes for the wealthy, he was deeply committed to democratizing good design. He believed that well-designed homes should be attainable for middle-class families, a principle that guided his creation of practical, affordable housing solutions that embodied simplicity, functionality, and a natural aesthetic.
