On the left is an image of Frank Lloyd Wright's architecture which is a private house, and on the right is an image of Antonio Gaudi's work.








Frank Lloyd Wright was greatly influenced by his upbringing, due to the events he experienced as a child, he had a deep love of nature and was very individual. His parents always encouraged him to be a free thinker and individual.

When he was just 13 years of age he witnessed the collapsing of the state of Wilsconsit Capitol building, he had difficulty sleeping for weeks as he tried to work out why the tragic accident occured. it was later found it was due to the lack of support from the pillars holding up three stories. Both the builder and architect reglected to test the pillars before hand.

Frank Llyod took this as a lesson and therfore his greatest factor which Wright put forth in his philsophy of organic architecture was safety.

Louis Sullivan was the only acrchitect that Wright would acknowledge had an influence on him "form follows function".

Antonio Gaudi is also a very talented architect however was influened by very differnt things, he was srongly influenced by medievil books and gothic styles.

He had a strong belief that architctural styles did not necessarily depend on the aesthetic ideas but instead were heavily influenced by political and social affairs.

He was heavily impressed with the new Art Nouveau style which replaced the riidity of straight lines.

Joan Martorell was a talented architect who became a strong influence of Gaudi's life, who was the person to suggest to Gaudi to take over the project of ‘Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Familia.’ as an extremly relgious man he dedicated 43 years to the contruction of the temple.
