I realise that this architect will be popular on the old blogger so I will keep it short. Frank Lloyd Wright developed a contempt for the beaux-arts architecture that was so popular in the late Victorian United States. One of the many reasons I think Frank Lloyd Wright was a great architect is that he was one of the first to recognise that architecture is as much a social manifestation as it is an art. I also like the way Wright has been influenced by the people around him, Sullivan to be specific. These influences have allowed Wright to develop architecture that is daring, creative, and unique.
Like any great architect Wright is a great problem solver. He has solved many problems in different areas, landscapes and for varying social sectors. For example, Wright does expensive one off specialised projects aswell as projects like Usonian directed at middle-income families. This is the area I can learn from as graphic designers are basically problem solvers.
