American modernism, also known as “organic” architecture, started around 1900 in Chicago and the Midwest, where Louis Sullivan coined the phrase “form follows function” to express his rejection of historic styles. Frank Lloyd Wright emulated Sullivan’s radical rethinking of architectural form and went on to develop highly individualistic designs such as the 1902 Ward Willets house in highland park and the 1909 Frederick Robie house in Chicago.
