Frank Lloyd Wright in Pittsburgh

Frank Lloyd Wright was the most talked about “starchitect” of the mid-20th century and inventor of Prairie style architecture.

Wright’s on and off friendship with retail magnate Edgar Kaufmann yielded innovative designs–and plenty of controversy. Apprentices who trained at FLW’s Taliesin program carry on his legacy into the 21st century.
