2.Frank Lloyd Wright. Sources: An Interpretive Biography by: Robert C. Twombly, Frank Lloyd Wright His life, His work, His words by: Oligivanna Lloyd Wright.
An American designer, architect, writer, and teacher, Frank Lloyd Wright was one of the most well renowned designers in the world. He has written over 20 books and has designed over 500 completed projects. What I found most interesting that because of the time there was no evidence he graduated from high school and when he left the University of Wisconsin-Madison he didn’t take a degree. He then spent most of his time in Chicago working to repair the damage caused by the Great Chicago Fire and eventually established his own practice in 1893. What interested me the most about this man was the fact that going through such turmoil through his life, such as, abandonment of his family, his relations with Mamah Cheney, her death, fires that destroyed his home, custody battles, his third wife Miriam Noel and that relationship falling through he still kept it for the most part together. Some of his most significant works occurred in his later years included the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and the Price Tower.
