Frank Lloyd Wright as a Design Inspiration

 I'm not alone in looking to Frank Lloyd Wright's work as an inspiration for excellence in Architecture. So much has been written that it would be presumptuous to assume that I could add anything entirely new to the discourse. Instead I simply urge anyone interested in design to periodically take a fresh look at Wright's work. It's something I do often... going beyond the customary affirmation of Wright's genius and really studying his Architecture with a fresh eye. From the turn of the 20th Century until the 1960's his designs virtually exploded with new ideas. Unique among Architects, Wright rewrote the rules more than once, and pioneered original approaches to Architectural space decade after decade. His body of work speaks for itself:
