"Frank Lloyd Wright"

|| One reason for Wrights achievements was his ability to see no boundaries in the field of success. He always thought there was not a limit to how far someone could go.
 * === "I see this extended horizontal line as the true earth-line of human life, indicative of freedom. The broad expanded plane is infinitely extended. In that lies such freedom for man on this earth as he may call his, no or ever" (Wright 374). ===

||  || When Wright was about 20 years old, he went to Chicago to see if he could find a job as an apprentice architect.Wright did not have a college diploma or degree of any kind when he went to Chicago. He visited an architectural firm in hopes of finding a job. He was turned down countless times before he finally got a job with wages that he was somewhat dissatisfied with; however, Wright's intelligence is shown by the fact that he was hired without even having finished college. ||
 * === **"Mr. Clay came out to look me over ‒a twinkle of kindly humor in his black eyes. I have remembered that He seemed to see **** Me and was amused. Why? Was it the longish hair again, or what? Took pity on me maybe, for he asked me to call again in a **** few weeks if I found nothing.In a few weeks! I had just three dollars and ten cents left" (Wright 88). ** ===

Unless uprooted it could not fall for it would not break, notwithstanding the barrel simile. Try, sometime, yourself to break a barrel" (Wright 161). ===

Frank Lloyd Wright was famous for designing buildings that contained the elements of nature around them. One example is his building called falling water [right]. This is one part of his work that set him apart from everyone else.

"Falling Water" || For Frank Lloyd Wright, architecture is not just a profession, but it is his life. It is obvious that architecture was something monumentally important to Frank Lloyd Wright. ||
 * =  ||= === "Soon the Gnawing of old hunger for reality. I saw no escape. Not yet had I Descended to make believe. Could I go deeper now? I could. I did. Desire to get some system of building construction as a basis for architecture was my objectice--my hope. There never was, is, architecture otherwise, so i believe" (Wright 258) ===

=== "I meant to embody in this desert resort all i had learned worthwhile about a natural architecture. First to be considerably better than any such hotel I knew about. The building to grow up out of the desert by way of desert materials, naturally as the Saguaro grew" (Wright 331). === Wrights buildings did not only have elements of nature around them, but they also had elements of nature inside of them. He often looked at things he saw in nature and designed buildings after them. || One reason Wright's architecture was far beyond that of many other architects, was his shear enthusiasm and love for the art. Architecture was perhaps the most important thing in life to him.
 * =  ||= === "Held off so long from action, I could scarcely wait to begin. I could not get the project off my mind"(Wright 331). ===

History is made by everyone, but there are some people who make huge impacts on the history of a whole nation or even the whole world. For architecture, Frank Lloyd Wright was this person. His methods and ideas have forever changed the way anyone will ever look at a building again. || "Falling Water" 16 November 2009. Web.
