Abstract: A comprehensive idea of a pioneer’s life can only be established by the parallel understanding and criticism of multiple texts and forms of writing, including biographies, autobiographies and academic texts. When assessing an architect’s life, their evolution of philosophy and design methods also demand to be studied through an analysis of individual works in a chronological order. Spaced even if at gaps of a few years, their buildings present a unique glimpse into the mind of the creator and often add more meaning to the readings they are coupled with. This paper aims to study the life and works of Frank Lloyd Wright in light of the various readings that surround him, with an aim to separate the man from the myth.
