His architecture is said to be unique because it promotes quality of life with buildings suited to their time, their location, and the people who use, visit, or live in them.

Guggenheim Bilbao Museum hosts an exhibition on Frank LLoyd Wright''s work from October 22 until February 14, 2010.

Frank Lloyd Wright is an exhibition about the significance of Wright''s thinking about space and the large impact this has had on the organization of modern life.

The more than eighty projects in Frank Lloyd Wright-ranging from privately commissioned homes and office, civic, and government buildings to religious and performance spaces as well as unrealized urban sites-accentuate Wright''s oeuvre as an architecture that encourages social interaction and integration with the natural world.

Wright''s style was unique due to his innovative use of materials and the way he integrated buildings into their surroundings and with nature.

Wright was a firm believer in the importance of education. He founded his own architecture school at his Taliesin residence in Spring Green, Wisconsin, followed by another campus in Scottsdale, Arizona.

He was a leader of organic architecture, which is characterized by a rejection of compartmentalized spaces. His residential designs are open to the exterior (using elements such as flat roofs and terraces), and they have abundant natural light and blend harmoniously with their environment.
