Biography
American architect of office buildings and private homes noted for starting the "prairie style" rambling type of house in 1930. Over the entire span of his career, he was responsible for more than 800 buildings, including a house called Fallingwater in Pennsylvania, a traffic-stopping gas station in Minnesota, the Guggenheim Museum in New York, and the Great Imperial Hotel in Tokyo, which was built in 1915. Wright was also the author of "Experimenting With Human Lines," 1923 and "Modern Architecture," 1931.
He married three times and had seven children. Ironically, the woman who was the passion of his life, but not one of his wives, was brutally murdered in 1914. Wright overcame the anguish through work, work, and more work, turning him into the prolific architect that is remembered today.
Died on 9 April 1959 in Phoenix, AZ, aged 91.
