Father of Modernism
You are in a room. It is sleek and light filled, while also being cozy. Across this room is a wooden desk, a comfy chair, and in that chair is a man. You walk over, the man is middle aged, and you look over his shoulder, he working on a design for a building. This man`s name is Frank Lloyd Wright and the design will shape the way the future looks in a small but important way. Frank Lloyd Wright is probably one of the largest contributors to what is known as modern architecture.
Wright was truly an innovative architect for his time. He believed that an architect`s inspiration should be nature. A belief that his designs such as Falling Water in Pennsylvania. He also believed in hard work and determination towards what you enjoy, demonstrated by Wright himself. He discovered that he wanted to be an architect and through hard work and determination he became one of the most famous and inspirational architects.
Wright made many contributions to architectural design. For example, he is the father of modernism. Through the work of Wright and the first architect he worked with, Sullivan, he developed his modernist style, which he later took to a whole new level after he started his own firm and branched out on his own. |
He even managed to keep his styles around through his students at Taliesin. Through his work and that of countless other Architects, modernist styles are still very alive and becoming ever more popular and ever changing.
Unlike his success in architecture, he was not very good at using life skills. He did not exhibit maturity. He was not very faithful to the women he was involved with before he was middle aged. He had quite a few mistresses when he was young. He, however, did use motivation throughout his life. After he decided he wanted to become an architect. He saw what he wanted and he went out and got it through dedication and hard work. He made his goals come to fruition.
Frank Lloyd Wright was a revolutionary architect. He may not have been faithful in his relationships. He did however have motivation. He used hard work and dedication and he was successful. Just shows what anyone can accomplish when they utilize their skills. |
