法兰克洛伊莱特 (Frank
Lloyd Wright) 是20世纪中，最具独创性的美国建筑师之一。他的建筑及构想深深地影响了今日的办公大楼及居家设计、组织。莱特喜欢藉由观察各种不同的文化来获取灵感，进而发展出自己的独特风格。1900年代的前几十年，其他的美国建筑师只会模仿欧式风格。莱特坚信好的设计必须能增加人们的自觉，让他们更加尊敬身边的环境及大自然。莱特曾设计过办公大楼、住宅、街坊、公共建筑物、教堂及博物馆。他设计规划了约800栋建筑物，而由他负责兴建的380栋建筑物中，至今仍留有约280栋。即使世纪交替，他的「大草原风格」建筑所带来的影响仍显见于现代居家设计。
Frank Lloyd Wright was one of the most original American architects of the 20th century. His buildings and ideas have affected the way offices and homes are designed and organized today. Wright's willingness to look to various cultures for inspiration allowed him to develop a unique style. During the early decades of the 1900s, other American architects were merely imitating European styles. Wright believed in the power that good design has to make people more aware and respectful of their surroundings and of nature. Wright designed office buildings, houses, neighborhoods, public buildings, churches, and museums. He designed about 800 buildings. Of the 380 that were built, about 280 are still standing. The influence of his "Prairie style" of architecture is in evidence in homes across the country.
