Happy Birthday - Frank Lloyd Wright

FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT

Olá!

This morning I learned that today is the birthday of one of my all time favorite creative persons - FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT.

But he wasn’t just an architect – he was also an interior designer, writer, and educator.  He would have turned 147 years old today.
"Wright’s designs were driven by the desire to nurture the lives of their occupants. He referred to his architecture as ‘organic’ – in complete harmony with itself and its surroundings, as if it had developed as naturally as a tree."  - ArchDaily                                            
I fell in love with Wright's work when I visited the Ennis House in 2004.  I was in awe of this beautiful, modern house that was built in 1924.  It is timeless and definitely in harmony with its surroundings as it sits on top of a hill in the Los Feliz section of Los Angeles.  It was also used in the movie BLADERUNNER.

His most famous house is Fallingwater which is located in southwest Pennsylvania's Laurel Highlands and 90 minutes from downtown Pittsburgh.

One of my favorite museums in the world is the Guggenheim Museum in New York City designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.

Wright completed over 500 projects. The timelessness of his designs continues to reveal just how strong that vision was. 

Thank you for being my inspiration!
