No single individual transformed 20th-century residential architecture more than Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959), undoubtedly America's most famous architect. A native of Wisconsin, Wright had little formal architectural training before coming to Chicago at the age of 20, where he secured employment as a draftsman in the architectural office of Joseph Lyman Silsbee and, soon after, with Adler & Sullivan. Under the guidance of Louis H. Sullivan, Wright learned to approach the practice of architecture as a creative abstraction of a structure's function, environment, and technology, rather than relying upon accepted conventions and historical precedents
