Frank Lloyd Wright is widely recognized as one of the most influential and innovative architects in American—and global—history. Celebrated for his bold use of space, materials, and natural light, Wright reshaped modern architecture by creating buildings that feel organically connected to their surroundings. He also developed the iconic Prairie Style, inspired by the open landscapes of the American Midwest, which transformed residential design in the early 20th century.
