Frank Lloyd Wright: Prairie School

Architecture 101

July 16, 2011   1:00 pm - 2:30 pm

Three Movements in Architecture is a three part lecture series exploring significant periods in architectural history—Gothic Revival (lecture on July 9), Frank Lloyd Wright: Prairie School, and The Glass Box (lecture on July 23).

The Prairie Houses of 1895 to 1910, created by American architect Frank Lloyd Wright, were inspired by the flat terrain of the American Midwest and are characterized by bold horizontal lines and masses, open interior spaces, and a careful balance between the buildings and the surrounding terrain. David Bagnall, director of interpretation for Sites and Collections at the Frank Lloyd Wright Preservation Trust, Oak Park, Illinois, discusses the Prairie School phenomenon through the work of Wright and his contemporaries.
