As a young child, his mother enriched his life with drawings and
literature depicting the great Cathedrals of England. In her home, she prepared and taught learning
activities believed to promote originality of thought and self-reliance. By the time Wright was in his
early teens, he had developed a devout appreciation for Nature by observing and photographing its diverse
and unifying patterns and intricacies of design and beauty.
Ironically, European
buildings never gained favor with the famous architect, instead he utilized a novel design-method that
proved at least in his mind to be the pure antagonist of European-inspired art form.
In doing so, for nearly 150 years
since his birth in 1867, Frank Lloyd Wright has provided scholars, writers, admirers and practitioners with
what
seems to be endless life episodes filled with intrigue, independence, mystery and truth. Beginning in 1886 at age
19 in Chicago and ending 72 years later in 1959 at age 91 at Taliesin West, the man who was destined
to become the world's greatest architect reached back into his childhood to find a rare combination
of learning experiences that piqued his curiosty, interests and abilities. Introduction Section Directory
