This is one of the Frank Lloyd Wright at a Glance series. Abby Moor has written extensively on the subjects of design and architecture. Her previous books include a selection of titles in the Frank Lloyd Wright at a Glance series, such as Prairie Houses and Interiors. Under a different pseudonym, she has published numerous specialist academic books on aspects of design and architecture. She has pursued a higher academic degree in the History of Design. Frank Lloyd Wright (June 8, 1867-April 9, 1959) was an American architect, designer, writer, and educator. He designed more than 1, 000 structures over a creative period of 70 years. Wright played a key role in the architectural movements of the twentieth century, influencing architects worldwide through his works and hundreds of apprentices in his Taliesin Fellowship. Wright believed in designing in harmony with humanity and the environment, a philosophy he called organic architecture. This philosophy was exemplified in Fallingwater (1935), which has been called "the best all-time work of American architecture". When Frank Lloyd Wright designed a building, he did not simply construct a shell and walk away. To the contrary, after consulting with the residents and taking their lifestyle into consideration, he would create an entire layout for the house. His use of interior space and the furnishings he designed are as startling and attractive as his buildings. From art-glass lamps and statuary to tables and chairs to carpets and fabrics, he strove to carry through the themes and motifs he carefully planned out for the particular building.
