Title: Robie House in Chicago Description: The Robie House in Chicago, another example of the Prairie Style of architecture advanced by Frank Lloyd Wright (Frank Lincoln Wright; 1867-1959), American architect, designer, educator and writer, who designed more than 1,000 projects (500 completed), a leader of the Prairie School of architecture (exemplified by the Robie House and the Westcott House) and an advocate of so-called organic architecture (designing buildings to work in harmony with surrounding environment, exemplified by Fallingwater, the Edgar J. Kaufmann Sr. residence, located fifty miles southeast of Pittsburg, Pennsylvania); Wright was the role model for the powerful 1943 novel The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand (Alisa Zinovyevna Rosenbaum; 1905-1982) in which the protagonist, Howard Roark, is a fiercely individualistic architect, made into a 1949 film starring Gary Cooper as the embattled architect.
