Frank Lloyd Wright is an American pioneering architect.
In his childhood, Wright played a lot with the developmental designer Kindergarten designed by Friedrich Froebel. Frank's parents divorced because of his father's inability to support the family, and Wright assumed the burden of financial responsibility for his two sisters and mother.
Frank went home without going to school. In 1885, he began studying in the engineering department of the University of Wisconsin. While studying at the university, he worked as an assistant to a local civil engineer, then left the university without obtaining a degree in science. In 1887, Wright moved to Chicago, where he studied at the architectural office of Joseph Silsby. A year later, he began to work in the company “Adler and Sullivan”, which was headed by the famous ideologist of the “Chicago school” L. Sullivan.
In 1893, Frank decided to start his own firm in the suburbs of Oak Park in Chicago. By 1901, Wright's record numbered about 50 projects.
The apotheosis of Frank’s work was the Solomon Guttenheim Museum in New York, which was designed and built by the architect. From the outside, the museum looks like an overturned spiral, and its interior looks like a sink, in the center of which there is a glazed courtyard. According to Wright, the expositions should be viewed from top to bottom: the visitor will climb to the upper tier by elevator and gradually descend the central ramp of the spiral shape.
Paintings that hang on inclined walls should be in the same position as on the easel of the artist. Museum managers did not fulfill every requirement of Frank, and today the exhibitions are viewed from the bottom up.
In the design of residential buildings of subsequent periods, Wright made a firm decision to abandon the right angle as an “artificial” shape and preferred the circular circle and spiral.
In 1998, the film was released on the screens.
