| June 8 Birthdays: Frank Lloyd Wright (492 words) |
 | At a time when poured reinforced concrete and steel cantilevers were generally confined to commercial structures, Wright did pioneer work in integrating machine methods and materials into a true architectural expression. |
| He was the first architect in the United States to produce open planning in houses, in a break from the traditional closed volume, and to achieve a fluidity of interior space by his frequent elimination of confining walls between rooms. |
| Wright's architectural philosophy was expressed in his lectures and writings. |
