Frank Lloyd Wright (June 8, 1867 – April 9, 1959) was one of the world's most prominent and influential architects.

He developed a series of highly individual styles over his extraordinarily long architectural career (spanning the years 1887–1959) and he influenced the entire course of American architecture and building. To this day, he remains America's most famous architect.

Wright was also well known in his lifetime. His colorful personal life frequently made headlines, most notably for the failure of his first two marriages and for the 1914 fire and murders at his Taliesin studio.

Boathouse

One of these famous drawings was something Wright called "Boathouse for the University of Wisconsin Boat Club." Twenty years later, the architect included this same boathouse in an international exhibition of six of his greatest works. The boathouse idea was obviously a favorite of Wright’s, featuring design elements seen in other local treasures like the Martin House and the Larkin Building - large vertical piers supporting horizontal planes. Sadly, it was never constructed. It was one of Frank Lloyd Wright’s most significant projects that had never come to fruition

萊特設計的船屋, 本是應一位學生非正式的請求而為威斯康辛大學所作, 倒是一批水牛城的劃船人, 在十多年前與研究萊特的學者交流時, 知道有此船設計而將這計劃建為船屋.

劃船人馬克(Ted Marks)極欣賞這個設計, 並幫助萊特設立了萊特船公司以籌集資金將設計變成現實.

這船屋確實是現代建築經典的一部份, 雖然它與現代距離已有一百零二年歷史, 但至今看來依舊很有現代感, 一點不落伍.
