The Birth of modern architecture appeared along with the development of new materials, new technology and new needs in the late 1800s and early 1900’s. The credo of this time was “Form Follows Function.
The first modern architect, Louis Sullivan, a Midwestern, was known for designing buildings with a revolutionary and influential design in Chicago. Sullivan was one of the first to use the steel frame. Frank Lloyd Wright ,who became one of the most innovative architects of his time, was a student of Louis Sullivan. Wright was influenced by many of Sullivans ideas. Wright’s work included both domestic and commercial architecture and he eventually became better known than Sullivan as an architect.
