Frank Lloyd Wright, the designer of the Myonichikan, is one of the most renowned U.S. architects of the 20th century. Known as the designer of the Imperial Hotel in Japan, he left over 800 plans, some 400 of which were accomplished in his life. 　 Born in 1867 in Richland Center, Wisconsin, U.S.A., Wright designed numerous unique buildings, mostly in the United States. He started his career focusing on designing residential buildings in 1893 and tried to create "Organic Architecture," buildings that harmonize both with their inhabitants and their environment. The Kaufmann House (the Rakusuiso in Japanese) and the Guggenheim Museum are some examples of his important works. 　 The Myonichikan was designed as a school building, and Wright's design represents the school founders' desire that they want to give their students a free education in an at-home atmosphere.
