Celebrate the legendary architect

Frank Lloyd Wright, one of the most famous figures in modern architecture, continues to inspire, delight, and challenge architecture enthusiasts. Through the stories and places below, explore Wright's influence on the field and the role that historic preservation plays in his legacy.

“Building becomes architecture only when the mind of man consciously takes it and tries with all his resources to make it beautiful, to put concordance, sympathy with nature, and all that into it. Then you have architecture.”
