Frank Lloyd Wright was an American architect who designed over 1,000 structures over the course of his more than 70-year-long career and is considered a pioneer of the Prairie School of architecture, which synthesized elements thought to blend well with the U.S.'s prairie landscape, including horizontal lines, flat/hipped roofs, and broad overhangs.
