EARLY AGE
the beginning as architect:
He young Wright attended the University of Wisconsin at Madison for a few terms in 1885–86 as a special student, but as there was no instruction in architecture, he took engineering courses. In order to supplement the family income, Wright worked for the dean of engineering, but he did not like his situation nor the commonplace architecture around him. He dreamed of Chicago, where great buildings of unprecedented structural ingenuity were rising.
Wright left Madison early in 1887 for Chicago, where he found employment with J.L. Silsbee, doing architectural detailing. Silsbee, a magnificent sketcher, inspired Wright to achieve a mastery of ductile line and telling accent. In time Wright found more rewarding work in the important architectural firm of Dankmar Adler and Louis Sullivan.
Twentieth and nineteenth century style.
His works:
Wright hides the paradox of an architect who, despite being among the greatest masters of twentieth-century Modernism, was deeply rooted in the cultural context of the nineteenth century: to note it was above all the architect Philip Johnson, who - not without veins of perfidy - Wright had been the most significant architect of the nineteenth. Wright, in fact, was an architect far from obsolete or antiquated, and his deep ties to nineteenth-century culture were not only legitimate, but even fruitful.
Robie house
Frederick C. Robie House is a building designed by architect Frank Lloyd Wright, completed between 1908 and 1910.
the concept of the building, not dissimilar from the precepts of organic architecture, was based on the idea that the buildings acquired shape and detail depending on the environment that surrounded them, as if they were conceived as fruits of the soil in which they were located. Wright designed not only the exterior shape of the house, but also the interior spaces and layout of the rooms, lights, windows and furnishings.
