Few architects shaped American architecture as profoundly as Frank Lloyd Wright. Over a career spanning more than seventy years, Wright developed a body of work that rejected European tradition and helped define a distinctly American architectural language.

This film examines Wright’s early influences, the development of his ideas around organic architecture, and the buildings that made him one of the most influential designers of the 20th century. From the Prairie Houses to Fallingwater and the Guggenheim Museum, the video traces how Wright’s work reshaped domestic architecture, urban space, and the role of the architect in American culture.

It also explores the contradictions that defined his career, innovation alongside ego, idealism alongside controversy, and how those tensions shaped both his work and his legacy.

To be clear, I am not calling him the world’s greatest architect, that is what he called himself, although I do like his work.
