An Introduction to the Work of Frank Lloyd Wright:The Father of Modern American Architecture

UNT – OLLI Teaching Presentation by Jessica Hogue Spring 2019

PresenterPresentation NotesIntroductionsMy name is Jessica Hogue. I am not an architect, nor have I studied architecture or design formally… However, when I was in D.C. visiting my sister almost 20 years ago, I had the opportunity to visit FLW’s Pope-Leighy house. From that moment on, I have been fascinated by his work.
