Because we arrive at 4 pm, this is only $10 per person. However, you need to register and pay in advance. You will be asked to decide and to pay on Thursday morning. Maria Kreppe-Ayguen from ZUMA will also email about participation Frank Lloyd Wright (June 81867April 91959) was one of the most prominent and influential architects during the first half of the 20th century. He developed a series of highly individual styles over his extraordinarily long architectural career (spanning the years 1887-1959) and influenced the entire course of American architecture and building. To this day, he remains probably America’s most famous architect.
