Wrightian style

Wrightian style

(1900–1959)
The architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright, for which this style is named, was characterized first by the Prairie-style house. The long, low buildings with broad, overhanging, low-pitched roofs and rows of casement windows emphasized the house’s horizontal relationship with the site. It culminated in the building of Taliesin, his home and school in Scottsdale, AZ.

After Wright died in 1959, his associates designed some additional buildings in a vaguely Wrightian style. They are interesting in that they prove that only Wright himself had the touch.
