From the prairie to the planets: the visionary architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright

When Frank Lloyd Wright completed his first independently commissioned building, the William Winslow house, in 1893, the Prairie Style was born—and American architecture changed forever. Over the next six decades, Wright would design more than 1,000 architectural works, realizing just over 500. In addition to seminal residential and public buildings like Fallingwater and the Guggenheim Museum, he designed chapels, apartment buildings, stables, clubs, schools, monuments, offices, factories, libraries and much more. Pictured here is an unbuilt project, the Gordon Strong Automobile Objective and Planetarium, Sugarloaf Mountain, Maryland, 1924–25.
