Modernism and the Heroic Period of Architecture – Heroic Period Breaking Away
Frank Lloyd Wright
Frank Lloyd Wright:
• He came from Mid-west in U.S.A.
• He was influenced by the Pereira lands that he used to live in, and he was
influenced by the Japanese architecture.
• The site and surroundings are important aspects of the design.
• He broke the box in American.
• Interplay of Horizontality and verticality: Use of Fire place and Chimneys, extending
architecture by cantilevers, and low pitched roofs that are contrasted with vertical
chimneys.
• The pitched space extends the inside with the outside and breaks the barriers of the
relationship between the inside and the outside.
• Asymmetrical design.
• A lot of social agendas in his work: He wanted to provide houses that are affordable
to all.

Depression Period 1920’s- 1930’s
In the 1920s, Wright was in debt-Depression damaged his
few remaining commission leads.

enthusiastic young architecture students each paid 650$ a
year to help Wright with his work.
For the first 23 students, there was little architectural
drawing and much manual labor . Such as waiting labels ,
gardening and repairing old.
