Frank LLoyd Wright was one of the most influential architects from this movement. He started his career working for Adler and Sullivan and then he established his own office in Oak park in 1893. He is probably my favorite architect from this period, not only because of his style but because he was very environmentally conscious, he really tried to incorporate the outside with the inside. The use of straight clean lines along with materials such as wood, glass and metal in most of his projects is what really sets him apart from the other architects in this movement.
One of the most influential styles form this period is the "Prairie House Style"
His primary contribution to this movement is not only seen in interiors but also in floor plans, he created the cross axes plan in order to separate rooms by overlapping rooms without boundaries.

FROM SAMMY'S BLOG: I really liked how she explained a little bit of background information and also how she mentioned Frank LLoyd Wright contribution to furniture, interior design and architecture.
FROM NICOLE'S K. BLOG: I loved the examples she used for current applications, the modern "Z" chair by Gerrit Rietveld is a perfect example of modern furniture.
