Frank Lloyd Wright

Ruby house

The inspiration for Wright’s celebrated Prairie style was the American Midwest, and in particular, its flat, expansive plains. Prairie style homes distinguish themselves through their strong exterior horizontal lines, low-pitched roofs, long bands of windows, and natural materials. In particular, the structures incorporate brick and wood into their design. One of the most well-known features of these homes is their use of art glass windows, which blend interior and exterior spaces through their soft filtration of light.

haas-haus vienna

At the very heart of Vienna, you find the Stephansdom Cathedral, one of the finest buildings of late Germanic Gothic art in Europe - and the Haas Haus, a shopping mall with a reflective façade that was designed by oh-I-am-so-great-adore-me architect Hans Hollein.The building was erected in 1866 - an important year in Austrian history, since it transformed the country into a federation with Hungary as an almost equivalent partner. The landlord was a local carpet company from Vienna - this was in the 19th century and thus in a time when every carpet trader was of Iranian descent.
