A Star In The World Of Architecture

For this week, I am going to talk about Frank Lloyd Wright. You have probably heard of him before, he has designed quite a few really nice and interesting buildings. Frank was born in 1867, in Wisconsin. Early on, he only ever used natural materials. He liked his buildings to embrace their natural surroundings. 

One of his most famous buildings in America is called Falling Water. He built a residential style house over top of a real natural flowing water fall. It was built in 1935 in Mill Run, Pennsylvania. The project back in 1935 only cost $155,000. If it was built in 2013 it would be well over 2 million to complete. 

Frank, was an architect for almost 70 years before he died. He had designed over a thousand different homes and buildings all over the world. His styles have been said to have had a global impact influencing not only America, but also Europe and Asia.
