Which architect is recognized for creating structures featuring large glass expanses?

Le Corbusier
Louis Kahn
Frank Lloyd Wright
Alvar Aalto

The correct answer is: Frank Lloyd Wright

Frank Lloyd Wright is widely recognized for his innovative use of large glass expanses in architecture, particularly with his design philosophy known as "organic architecture." He believed that buildings should be in harmony with their surroundings and often incorporated expansive windows to blend indoor and outdoor spaces. His designs, such as the famed Fallingwater and the Robie House, showcase extensive use of glass, allowing for natural light to flood interiors while providing stunning views of the natural landscapes surrounding them. This approach not only enhanced the aesthetic appeal of his structures but also played a crucial role in the overall spatial experience, reflecting his philosophy that architecture should relate to its environment. The other architects mentioned have made significant contributions to architecture as well, but they are not as distinctly recognized for their use of large glass expanses as Wright is.
