Frank Lloyd Wright and Modern Architecture


ID : 2718   

« back to classes page
Frank Lloyd Wright designed nearly 1,000 buildings
and helped define modern architecture. This
course explores highlights of his practice, from
Prairie houses to Fallingwater and the Guggenheim
Museum, alongside lesser-known projects like
affordable housing and city planning. We’ll
examine how Wright’s work reflected cultural
shifts in technology, science, and politics, offering
a deeper understanding of his lasting influence on
architecture and modern design.

Jennifer Gray, PhD, is vice president of the Taliesin Institute at
the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation. Her research explores how
modern architects used design to advance social change at the
turn of the 20th century. She has curated major exhibitions,
including Frank Lloyd Wright at 150 at MoMA and The Imperial
Hotel at 100, which toured Japan. Gray has taught at Columbia,
Cornell, and MoMA, and formerly served as Curator of Drawings
and Archives at Avery Architectural & Fine Arts Library.
