Wright, an influential American architect and interior designer, designed more than 1,000 buildings influenced by his philosophy of "organic architecture," which maintains that a building should develop out of its natural surroundings. His designs for both private and public structures were boldly original as he often rebelled against classic architecture and its traditional ornamentation. He has been credited with initiating many new techniques, such as the use of precast concrete blocks reinforced by steel rods, and he introduced numerous residential innovations, including radiant floor heating. Wright, who has been studied more than any other architect, was recognized by the American Institute of Architects (AIA) in 1991 as the greatest American architect of all time.

QUOTES:
"Frank Lloyd Wright is a true inspiration and legend in the world of modern architecture," said Daniel Nicely, managing director at VMZINC -US and Umicore Building Products USA, Inc. "The Chicago Architecture Tour provides attendees with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see firsthand some of the area's most famous architectural landmarks. We are honored to sponsor this tour in conjunction with Triangle Modernist Houses and we are looking forward to a truly educational and rewarding trip."
