Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Frank Lloyd Wright was known for his philosophy of organic architecture which emphasized the connection between the building, its occupants, and its surroundings. He believed that buildings should be designed to fit their environment and enhance the lives of those who use them. While he was a contemporary of the Bauhaus movement and influenced modern architecture, he was not a central figure of that movement. He is also not credited with inventing architectural modernism in the U.S. nor did he envision "radiant cities" of skyscrapers and super-highways.
