10 events celebrating 150th anniversary of Frank Lloyd Wright's birth



Next month marks the 150th anniversary of the birth of American architect Frank Lloyd Wright. A series of exhibitions and open houses are taking place to celebrate the occasion, and we've chosen a selection of the best.
Born on 8 June 1867 in Wisconsin, Frank Lloyd Wright is considered to be one of the 20th century's most important architects, and his work is credited a precursor to modernism.
Wright, who established his own practice in Chicago in 1893, led the Prairie School ? a movement that spanned the end of the 19th century and the start of the 20th century.
Developed in the American Midwest, the style is typified by low, horizontal roof lines and overhanging eaves, designed to reference to the area's flat landscape.
Examples of Wright's work from the era include the 1909 Robie House and Emile Bach House in Chicago, while the 1927 Fallingwater house in Pennsylvania, the 1937 Taliesin West house in Arizona and the 1959 Guggenheim Museum in New York are among his famous later projects. Events are across the USA will celebrate this legacy on the 150th anniversary of his birth, including a series of open houses, lectures and talks organised by the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, a major retrospective exhibition at MoMA, and a balloon installation. Here are 10 worth marking in the diary:
