Speaking of great architects with June 8 birthdays, in addition to Bruce Goff, Frank Lloyd Wright also has a birthday today. Wright is one of America’s most influential architects, defining the Organic Architecture movement which incorporated natural designs into homes. He was born in Richland Center, Wisconsin, on June 8, 1867.
Wright’s best known work of Organic Architecture is the 1939 Fallingwater House, located in Mill Run in southwest Pennsylvania’s Laurel Highlands. The house was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in July 2019, along with seven other buildings under the category of “The 20th-Century Architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright,” including the architect’s famous Taliesin homes: his Taliesin home in Spring Green, Wisconsin, and Taliesin West which served as his snowbird winter home and laboratory in Scottsdale, Arizona’s desert.
