About this Quote

In this quote, legendary American designer Frank Lloyd Wright proclaims the value of design as the mother art. He recommends that it is via producing and also growing our own architectural identity that we can bring to life a true feeling of world and also identification. Without a special as well as distinct architecture, Wright says, our society would do not have a spirit and also be lacking its very own social character. Wright's observation reflects his strong idea in the power of style to form and reveal the society as well as identification of a people. Architecture, in his view, is indivisible from the really essence of world.
