    Frank Lloyd Wright


    (born Frank Lincoln Wright, June 8, 1867 April 9, 1959)

    Was an American architect, interior


    designer, writer, and educator, who
    designed more than 1,000 structures,
    532 of which were completed.
    Wright believed in designing structures
    that were in harmony with humanity
    and its environment, a philosophy he
    called organic architecture. This
    philosophy was best exemplified by
    Fallingwater (1935), which has been
    called "the best all-time work of
    American architecture".

    Wright was a
    leader of the Prairie School movement of
    architecture and developed the concept of the
    Usonian home1, his unique vision for urban
    planning in the United States

    The "Usonian Homes" were typically small, single-story dwellings


    without a garage or much storage. They were often L-shaped to fit
    around a garden terrace on unusual and inexpensive sites.

    Le Corbusier
    (October 6, 1887 August 27, 1965)

    Was a Swiss-French
    architect, designer, painter,
    urban planner, writer, and
    one of the pioneers of what
    is now called modern
    architecture. He was born
    in Switzerland and became a
    French citizen in 1930. His
    career spanned five decades,
    with his buildings
    constructed throughout
    Europe, India, and the
    Americas.

    Dedicated to providing better living


    conditions for the residents of
    crowded cities, Le Corbusier was
    influential in urban planning, and was
    a founding member of the Congrs
    international d'architecture modern
    (CIAM). Corbusier prepared the
    master plan for the planned city of
    Chandigarh in India, and contributed
    specific designs for several buildings
    there.

    Mies Van Der Rohe


    (born Maria Ludwig Michael Mies; March 27, 1886 August 17, 1969)

    Was a

    German-American architect. He is commonly


    referred to and was addressed as Mies, his surname.

    Mies,

    like many of his post-World War I contemporaries,


    sought to establish a new architectural style that
    could represent modern times just as Classical and
    Gothic did for their own eras. He created an
    influential twentieth-century architectural style,
    stated with extreme clarity and simplicity. His mature
    buildings made use of modern materials such as industrial
    steel and plate glass to define interior spaces.

    He strove toward an architecture with a


    framework of structural order balanced
    the implied freedom of free-flowing
    space. He called his buildings "skin and
    architecture. He sought a rational
    approach that would guide the creative
    process of architectural design, but he
    always concerned with expressing the
    modern era.
