Frank Lloyd Wright imposed his work to international prominence as a paragon of cutting-edge architecture, becoming a symbol of an entire nation: the United States. In the same way Wright established a new graphic style, an eloquent way to represent architecture that can be considered as an exclusive expression of American culture. This study analyses Wright’s architectural drawings as a specific production that, even if complementary to his better-known design, radiates its own artistic and architectural value.
