法兰克．洛伊．赖特 (Frank Lloyd Wright) 出生于1867年6月8日

有些人到了年老的时候，才会做出最具创造力的作品。法兰克．洛伊．赖特是美国最有影响力的建筑师之一，他有许多着名的建筑设计是在超过70岁之后才设计出来的。赖特于1867年6月8日在威斯康辛州的瑞曲蓝德 (Richland) 出生。他所接受的教育本来是训练他成为一个工程师，但是他后来却自修设计建筑物的知识。他相信好的房子应该要让住在里头的人感到舒服，不过也应该要能与当地的环境融合成为一体。当他在宾州一处瀑布上盖了一栋名为「落水」 (Fallingwater) 的房子时，这种概念被他发挥到了极至。此外，赖特还以独特的方式设计了许多知名的建筑物。


Some people do their most creative work late in life. Frank Lloyd Wright was one of America's most influential architects, and he designed some of his most famous buildings when he was over seventy years old. Wright was born on June 8, 1867, in Richland Center, Wisconsin. He was trained to be an engineer but mostly taught himself how to design buildings. He believed houses should be comfortable for the occupants but should also blend in with their environment. He took this idea to its limit when he designed a house in Pennsylvania named Fallingwater, which is suspended above a waterfall. Wright designed other buildings with unique characteristics.
