"Styles come and go, but the ideas of some transcend the items and structures they are associated with. "Prairie" and "Modern" are just words that in and of themselves don't mean too much. As "styles" they evolve into each other historically (Prairie, USONIAN, Modern...they are all interrelated in some way) and fall in and out of vogue."

"Ideals expressed over a century ago by the Prairie School and in the case of what Frank Lloyd Wright refined and matured over his 70 year career, can and should be studied, experienced and adopted for our modern world. Those notions of craftsmanship, honest construction, and unity of design, beauty, function and simplicity are universal themes that are not relegated to a bygone era. They were meant for any time and are as true today as they were back then."
