prairie school teriminin İngilizce İngilizce sözlükte anlamı: A group of American architects practicing mainly in the Midwest in the early 20th century, whose designs for low, horizontally extended houses and emphasis on natural materials were influenced especially by Frank Lloyd Wright. Group of architects, including Frank Lloyd Wright, who created low-lying "prairie houses" in the U.S. Midwest 1900-17. Prairie houses were generally built of brick, wood, and plaster, with stucco walls and bands of casement windows. The Prairie architects emphasized horizontal lines by using low roofs with wide, projecting eaves. They discarded elaborate floor plans and detailing for flowing internal spaces organized around a central fireplace or hearth. The resulting low, spreading structures are characterized by light, crossing volumes and spaces; they reach out to nature, not to other buildings. Other architects working in the style included George Grant Elmslie (1871-1952) and Barry Byrne (1883-1967)
