Legacy
Frank Lloyd Wright’s main philosophy was, “form fits function,” meaning that every part of the building has a function in keeping the house a comfortable living area or a function-able working place. Emerson conveyed through his writings the need for simplicity and functionality. Wright created more than 400 buildings and numerous design concepts that are still being used today and his Usonian homes set a new standard in urban design. He truly changed the face of our world.
The Legacy of Frank Lloyd Wright
“Organic architecture is a new idea of what constitutes a building. It introduces wholly new values into building. An entirely new ethic - and esthetic - comes to life when the building is so conceived as intrinsic, as the result of the nature materials, tools, situations, and the human beings it shelters. Wherever it is honestly built, you may see a new countenance, the countenance of truth emerging.
Architecture is primarily interior; of the thing, not on it. It is not a dead aspect of style but style itself, bearing ever fresh form, like all living things in nature.”
