Louis H. Sullivan Structures Image Gallery

Louis H. Sullivan (1856-1924) was an American architect, critic, and mentor, and has been called a "father of skyscrapers" and "father of modernism". He was an influential architect of the Chicago school, a mentor to Frank Lloyd Wright, and an inspiration to the Chicago group of architects who have come to be known as the Prairie School. From the globally recognized phrase "form ever follows function" to the mentorship of a young Frank Lloyd Wright, Sullivan's influence set in motion some of the most important ideas in modern architecture.
