Frank Lloyd Wright
Frank Lloyd Wright was an American architect, designer, writer, and educator. Frank Lloyd
Wright changed the way we build and the way we live. As an architect, Frank Lloyd Wright was
known for many things, but perhaps his most famed characteristic was his exceptional attention
to detail. According to his philosophy;
“The good building is not one that hurts the landscape, but one which makes the landscape
more beautiful than it was before the building was built.”
Design Philosophy:
Design and form acquired a symbolic meaning. Architecture can embody “picturesque”
qualities that harmonize with the environment. Wright view all details of a building as the
product of a single independent mind.
Design Principles:
Organic colors
Simple geometric shapes
Integration of building with natural surroundings
Strong horizontal lines

Frank Lloyd Wright has always been the nature’s true lover and always worked in a way to give
respect to nature and space. Use of natural materials was one of the main process in his
architectural practice that made the architecture more close to the nature and organic form.
My Inspirations:
We are creating just dull and boring urban structures that are opposite to the nature and
natural organic forms. I thought without the natures influence over the architecture we can’t
have that aesthetics.
