Frank Lloyd Wright - America's Story - (Library Of Congress) - Frank Lloyd Wright was one of the most original American architects of the 20th century. His buildings and ideas have affected the way offices and homes are designed and organized today.

Landscape Architect - Landscape architects decide where to put flowers, trees, walkways, and other landscape details.
