To the question “Is there an Eastern influence in your architecture?,” Frank Lloyd Wright found an answer:
Many people have wondered about an Oriental quality they see in my work. I suppose it is true that when we speak of organic architecture, we are speaking of something that is more Oriental than Western. The answer is: my work is, in that deeper philosophical sense, Oriental. (Quoted from The Essential Frank Lloyd Wright: Critical Writings on Architecture, edited by Bruce Brooks Pfeiffer. Princeton University Press. 2008. p. 16.)
