Changes

'''Frank Lloyd Wright''' (1887 - 1959) was an American [[architect]].  His career was varied, as he did not always please those who hired designers of buildings.  While his early career was studded with commercial projects, he fell upon hard times and was reduced to designing houses for wealthy people in the greater Chicago area.  In the third phase of his career, he was once again welcomed as the genius he was, and added greatly to the vocabulary of modern American architecture.

Wright espoused a philosophy of making buidings to fit their environment, and his greatest legacy in this area is the  Praire House.  They were designed with overhanging eaves, to block the sun in summer, but to allow the winter sun in through the windows.  They had broad horizontal lines, intended to make them blend in with the plains where they were located.  While adapted to the American prairie (hence the name), the basic outline became what we know now as the "ranch house" - perhap renamed to spare him the tragedy of being blamed for so many modern cookie-cutter developments.

Mr. Wright built his own "dream house" in [[Wisconsin]], called "Taliesin".  Here he ran his operations, using many apprectices, perhaps unfairly - although one can say, that working unaccredited for a "master" is reward in itself.  tragedy befell him here, as the first buildig burned down.

At the headquarters for the Larkin Company Administration Building in Bufflao, New York, we see Wright at his prime, not only blueprinting the building, but also designing the workspaces. Another famous project was the S.C. Johnson headquarters.
