Good Morning Friends,
After 1900 and his local success, Wright became immensely more ambitious and decided to take on the European avant - garde, whose work he must have known well through magazines. He fashioned a new form of horizontal streamlining - a word he claimes to have invented, and then helped form a group of architects, the "Chicago Eighteen," which soon evolved into the " New School of the Middle West." The Prairie House, such as the William E. Martin Residence, was the result of both efforts. Wright applied the same general principles of space and streamlining, used in his Prairie Houses, to public buildings. Even the " New Prairie Style" was conceived for domestic scale.

I will continue with more on Wright tomorrow.

Respectfully,
