The influence of the surroundings | Frank Lloyd Wright & Josep Lluis

Frank Lloyd and Josep Lluis are two amazing architects from very different settings. Each one of them was inspired by their own surroundings and cultures.

Frank Loyd Wright was an American architect, who designed more than a thousand structures. He believed in creating harmony with humanity and It’s environment he called his philosophy organic architecture. His most recognized work was fallingwater which dile consider the greatest piece of American architecture. Frank’s purpose with fallingwaterwas to not interrupt the landscape but to become a part of it.

Josep Lluis was a Spanish architect born and raised in Barcelona he had a more Mediterranean style thanks to were he grew up. He also chooses to utilize materials native from his country.

This shows how a designers environment and culture reflects on an architects work. Both Frank and Josep grew up in such different settings which led their work to be entirely different which I think it’s a great thing since it creates diversity and gives a huge spectrum of possibilities since every single person is shaped by different circumstances.
