Wright’s dream was for every person to be able to afford a
home. This is one of the reasons he evolved his Prairie Style buildings
into "Usonian" houses. Usonian houses were designed during the Great Depression, and were much less expensive and smaller than Prairie Style.
Wright’s architectural works are well known, and preserved by organizations and foundations. His influence provoked change in modern architecture, making it open and inviting. If Wright hadn’t followed his dream in architecture, it would most likely be very different today. When he started straying from the path of Victorian housing, which was very common back then, he began changing the fundamentals of that era’s building styles. As he opened up floor plans, people started to realize their house was an integration of the interior and exterior.

Usonian Architecture
Usonian architecture was created during the Great Depression. As families were smaller, less space was needed to live in. They were inexpensively constructed, and had little ornamentation.
