Frank Lloyd Wright - The Man Who Built America. Architect Jonathan Adams sets off across America to explore Frank Lloyd Wright’s masterpieces for himself.

Adams argues that Frank Lloyd Wright is now a vitally important figure who can teach us how to build for a better world. Wright’s belief in what he called organic architecture – buildings that grace the landscape and respond to people’s individual needs – is more relevant than ever, in Wales and around the world.
