Frank Lloyd Wright

Frank Lloyd Wright, a revolutionary architect who was greatly influenced by the modernist movement. He departed from the modernist movement, and added value to his work, by using the materials from the area of the project(as you can see in the image) creating a comfortable abode, that fit into the surroundings, and made the building work with the landscape.

Wright's main influence is said to be Louis Sullivan, who compelled Wright to "recognise that architecture was as much a social manifestation as it was an art". As his 'mentor' of sorts, Sullivan left an undeniable imprint on Wright stating that "the form of a building should express its underlying function" , he also encouraged and provided an example of daring, creativity, and independence of thought.

Similarly influenced by Japanese art, the Ward Willitts home (1902) clearly displays his fascination.

Also influenced by the Prairie style, Wright introduced gently sloping roofs, which captured the contours- "The horizontal line is the line of domesticity", he essentially 'married' his homes to the ground and the surroundings.
