Frank Lloyd Wright designed hundreds of houses. While his public buildings are arguably the most innovative, unfortunately he did not construct many; the vast majority of his projects were private residences. Fortunately, these private residences have escaped the destruction that faced many of his public works.
What innate understanding allowed him to respond to his clients needs to create rooms that flowed into one another? What ideas can you take from this genius to help elevate and enrich your human spirit today? Thomas A. Heinz - Topic Presenter Thomas A. Heinz, AIA, is a Chicago architect and writer and an acknowledged expert on Frank Lloyd Wright. He has written over 25 books on the life and works of America's greatest architect, including volumes on his unique furniture designs and glorious art glass.

As an acknowledged expert, who better to explain, the designs, the abilities and the man that was the defining genius of American architecture?
