    FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT

    Presented By :

    HUSSAIN SIDDUQUI
    Frank Lloyd Wright was born Frank
    Lincoln Wright in the farming town of
    Richland Center, Wisconsin, United
    States, in 1867.
    Wright attended Madison High School,
    but there is no evidence he ever
    graduated. He was admitted to the
    University of Wisconsin–Madison as a
    special student in 1886.There he joined
    Phi Delta Theta fraternity,[6] took
    classes part-time for two semesters,
    and worked with a professor of civil
    engineering, Allan D. Conover. In 1887,
    Wright left the school without taking a
    degree .
     Later he arrived in Chicago in search of
    employment . Within days, and after
    interviews with several prominent firms,
    he was hired as a draftsman with the
    architectural firm of Joseph Lyman
    Silsbee. Wright previously collaborated
    with Silsbee—accredited as the
    draftsman and the construction
    supervisor—on the 1886 Unity Chapel for
    Wright's family in Spring Green,
    Wisconsin.
     Feeling that he was underpaid for the quality
    of his work for Silsbee (at $8 a week), the
    young draftsman quit and found work as a
    designer at the firm of Beers, Clay, and Dutton.

    However, Wright soon realized that he was not


    ready to handle building design by himself; he
    left his new job to return to Joseph Silsbee—this
    time with a raise in salary.
     After leaving Louis Sullivan, Wright
    established his own practice on the top floor of
    the Sullivan designed Schiller Building (1892,
    demolished 1961) on Randolph Street in
    Chicago. Wright chose to locate his office in the
    building because the tower location reminded
    him of the office of Adler & Sullivan.

     Wright worked on more than 250 projects . Few


    of them were designed with other architects
    and other were designed individually .
     Few projects of Wright
    are given below :-
