He designed more than 1000 structures, 532 were completed. He believed in designing structures that were in harmony with humanity and its environment which is known as organic architecture philosophy. This philosophy was best exemplified by Fallingwater (1935), which has been designed “the best all time work of American architecture”. His innovation period crossed over 70 years.


Fallingwater, one of Wright's most acclaimed private living arrangements finished in 1937. Developed over a 30-foot cascade, it was designed by Wright's craving to put the occupants near the natural surrounding environment. The house was planned to be all the more a family escape, instead of a live-in home. The construction is a progression of cantilevered balconies and terraces, utilizing limestone for all verticals and concrete for the horizontals. It was one of Wright's most expensive pieces, for the two its dynamism and for its incorporation with its striking natural surroundings. Fallingwater has been depicted as an architectural tour de force of Wright's organic architectural design. Wright's enthusiasm for Japanese architecture was emphatically reflected in the design of Fallingwater, especially in the significance of interpenetrating outside and inside spaces and the solid accentuation set on amicability among man and nature.



He created masterpiece after another, each is unique and strongly new but then each with the obvious pinch of Wright's virtuoso in the treatment of material, the specifying, and the general idea.

Out of these ideas, Wright built up the alleged prairie house, of which the Robie House in Chicago and the Avery Coonley House in Riverdale, Illinois, are extraordinary examples. In the "prairie-style," Wright utilized terraces and porches to permit within to flow effectively outside.



Wright was the pioneer of what came to be known as the Prairie School development of engineering, and he likewise built up the concept of the Usonian home in Broadacre City, his interesting vision for urban planning in the United States. Notwithstanding his houses, he planned unique and creative workplaces, churches, schools, high rises, hotels, museums, and different structures. He regularly designed inside components for these buildings, also, including furniture and stained glass. Wright composed 20 books and numerous articles and was a well-known lecturer in the United States and Europe. Wright was perceived in 1991 by the American Institute of Architects as "the greatest American architect of all time." In 2019, a determination of his work turned into a recorded World Heritage Site as the twentieth Century Architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright.
