The Prairie School architects of the late 19th and early 20th century were the great visionaries behind the architectural movement of integrating nature and landscape with a building or home.   The idea that a home could have more open interior spaces, a visual connection between the indoors and outdoors, horizontal lines, and indigenous materials, made the original Prairie School architecture extremely popular for a brief time in the Midwest.   Among these great architects were more notably Louis H. Sullivan, and later Walter Burley Griffin and Frank Lloyd Wright.
