Welcome

All of Frank Wright's buildings are designed to blend in with its environment. He used materials that resembled the environment, and built the building in such a way as to imitate its surroundings. This characteristic is what made Wright's designs famous. This section of the site will present some of Frank Wright's works. Wright created hundreds of buildings, but here I will only present a few of his greatest. Below, you will find several pictures and information on Wright's designs. By clicking the tabs to the right of the images, you can enlarge the image, or veiw additional photo's of the building (if available). Please feel free to veiw the images. You can also find web pages with additional photos in the links section.
