Frank Lloid was an american arquitect, born in Richland Center, Wiconsin on the 1867 and died on 1959 at age 91. Who design over 1,114 architectural jobs which 532 were constructed althougth his carrer didn't succed after his dead, he worked at the dean department of engeniring at the Univerity of Wisconsin as he was studing in the same university he realize he wantede to persue architectutere, he moved to chicago on 1887 and starded two work for two firms, after a while he created his own firm, determine to create indigenous american architecture. He was also one of the great revolutionaries of the 20th century architecture creating 12 of the most important buildings of the centurie such as Solomon R, the Fallingwater house, and Tailasin West house and studio.
This museum called the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum it was design with the intention of exposing the museums collection of non-objective art collection that had artist such as Vasily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, and Piet Mondrian. He created the desing and belive it was “the best possible atmosphere in which to show fine paintings or listen to music.” (Lloid, F. 1943) Eventhougth Lloid was commision to make the desing on 1943 is was not build until 1959.
One of his most know jobs is called the Fallingwater a house design in 1935 made for the Kaufmann family, in this design he applied his philosophy of organic architecture where art and nature confine I have already talk about his philosophy in another post. The house is located in the mountain region of pensilvania, the design is purpose to blend in with its environment, this is why the waterfall pass thru the house as part of the construction. This house is now a museum and its price internationally as a masterpiece of 20th century architecture.
I chose this architect because of his concept of organic construction and how it is supposed to blend and be part of the ecosystem it is part of and not an external body being part of an ecosystem. His designs also are not the conventional shapes someone would assume. This is a part
