A news story and an anniversary this past week reminded us of just how special is the craft of architecture.
This past week marked the 144th anniversary of the birth of Frank Lloyd Wright, the father of organic architecture. He designed more than 1,000 projects that resulted in nearly 500 finished works. Architect, designer, writer and educator, the "greatest architect of all time (according to the AIA), inspired many to become architects.
How many? According to ArchSoc, a blog chronicallying architectural issues and ideas, there are nearly 200,000. But that depends on how you count.
Truth is, most buildings and structures wouldn't be standing without the help of an architect. That is also another reason why companies such as ours exist: pairing effective, buildable design with expert construction techniques and methods ensures success and sustainability.
