Frank Lloyd Wright byl jedním z nejvýznamnějších amerických architektů. Narodil jako první dítě Williama Careyho Wrighta a Anny Lloyd Jones-Wrightové. Po studiích na wisconsinské univerzitě v Madisonu odjel Wright v roce 1889 do Chicaga. Zde pracoval nejprve pro Josepha Lymana Silsbeea a později se angažoval v architektonické firmě Adler & Sullivan, až si nakonec v roce 1893 otevřel svou vlastní praxi.

Frank Lloyd Wright nejznámější citáty

„Stejně jako je lepší k pálení staré dřevo, k projížďce starý kůň, ke čtení stará kniha a k pití staré víno; je třeba si přát mít staré přátele.“

Frank Lloyd Wright

„Než Louis Sullivan ukázal cestu, vysokým budovám chyběla jednota. Byly postaveny ve vrstvách jako velký svatební dort. Všichni bojovali proti výšce místo aby ji důstojně a čestně přijali.“

Frank Lloyd Wright

[(en) Until Louis Sullivan showed the way, the high buildings lacked unity. They were built up in layers like a great wedding cake. All were fighting height instead of gracefully and honestly accepting it.]
