Frank Lloyd Wright Sr. (June 8, 1867 - April 9, 1959) was an American architect, designer, writer, and educator. He designed more than 1,000 structures over a creative period of 70 years. Wright played a key role in the architectural movements of the twentieth century, influencing architects worldwide through his works and hundreds of apprentices in his Taliesin Fellowship. Wright believed in designing in harmony with humanity and the environment, a philosophy he called organic architecture. This philosophy was exemplified in Fallingwater (1935), which has been called "the best all-time work of American architecture". Bruce Brooks Pfeiffer's unique understanding of the archives became evident to the entire world during his middle-aged years, when he devoted most of his time to writing, editing, and managing works for exhibitions. His name is on all the go-to major compilations, including a 12-volume box set of Wright's built and unbuilt works that Pfeiffer undertook with photographer Yukio Futagawa, published in 1985, and a three-volume Complete Works monograph series published by Taschen. From Frank Lloyd Wright: Collected Writings, Volume 2 From Two Lectures on Architecture: Young man in architecture, wherever you are, whatever your age, or whatever our job, we-- the youth of America-- should be the psychological shock-troops thrown into action against corruption of this supreme American ideal. It will be for youth, in this sense, to win the day for freedom in architecture. To the young man in architecture, the word radical should be a beautiful word. Radical means of the root or to the root-- begins at the beginning and the word stands up straight. Any architect should be radical by nature because it is not enough for him to begin where others have left off. From An Autobiography: A house of the North. The whole was low, wide and snug, a broad shelter seeking fellowship with its surroundings. A house that could open to the breezes of summer and become like an open camp if need be. With Spring came music on the roofs for there were few dead spaces overhead, and the broad eaves so sheltered the windows that they were safely left open to the sweeping, soft air of the rain. Taliesin was grateful for care. Took what grooming it got and repaid it all with interest. Taliesin's order was such that when all was clean and in place its countenance beamed, wore a happy smile of well-being and welcome for all. It was intensely human, I believe.
