Paper Summary:
Architect Frank Lloyd Wright designed houses which were known as "Prairie School" because of their distinct style. This paper traces the history and the reason why this form of architecture came about, and how it was a reflection of a developing American trend of modernism.From the Paper:
"One of the most striking things about Wright's houses is their lack of porches. They sink gracefully and beautifully into the ground - and how can we fault them for this? - but they also turn their backs on their neighbors. These are houses into which individual families can shut themselves away - the first sign in at least a psychological sense of the suburbanization of America."More papers on Prairie School Houses:
