The 20th-Century Architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright is a UNESCO World Heritage Site consisting of eight buildings across the United States designed by American architect Frank Lloyd Wright.[1][2] These sites demonstrate his philosophy of organic architecture, designing structures that were in harmony with humanity and its environment.
