The 20th
century Architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright (United States of America) – The
property consists of eight buildings in the United States designed by the
architect during the first half of the 20th century. These include the
Fallingwater (Mill Run, Pennsylvania), the Herbert and Katherine Jacobs House
(Madison, Wisconsin) and the Guggenheim Museum (New York). These buildings
reflect the “organic architecture” developed by Wright, which includes an open
plan, a blurring of the boundaries between exterior and interior and the
unprecedented use of materials such as steel and concrete. Each of these
buildings offers innovative solutions to the needs for housing, worship, work
or leisure. Wright's work from this period had a strong impact on the
development of modern architecture in Europe.—Unesco.
