Following Frank Lloyd Wright's influence on twentieth century architecture, one can trace a path from his immediate draftsmen in Oak Park, to the Prairie School in general, to the young European Modernists, to the Taliesin Apprenticeship and FLW School of Architecture. I would like to follow that path of Wright's design language of geometry and its impact on late twentieth and current twenty-first century architectural practice. Can the NNJ readership help in formulating a list of architects who have been influenced by Wright's geometry?

Anne Fougerat has is just putting the finishing touches on a French translation (the first such) of Wright's The Natural House.
Now Gaudi on the other hand, with his constrained geometric modelling, may well prove to be the most prescient digital architect of the early 21st century... I have indeed just written a short piece on the influence of Gaudi on our current parametric praxis...
