Frank Lloyd Wright is considered by many to be the 20th century's greatest architect. His work spans more than 1100 buildings, including homes, museums, churches and even a gas station, as well as countless home furnishings such as lamps and furniture.
Wright's unconventional designs were based on his reverence of the American experience and his desire to create a uniquely American architecture that was not based on European models. He turned to nature and the American landscape for inspiration.
Today marks the 144th anniversary of Wright's birth, so we took to Flickr to find some of his most interesting, bizarre and beautiful structures

Keep the Houston Press Free... Since we started the Houston Press, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Houston, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Houston with no paywalls.
