#UnityTemple's significance as a World Heritage site lies in Wright's inventive use of concrete as a primary building material, thus establishing @flwunitytemple as an early experiment and masterpiece of modern architecture.

62 years ago today, the world lost one of its greatest architects. Frank Lloyd Wright passed away in Phoenix, Arizona, on April 9, 1959 at the age of 91. Wright’s ideas and work continue to live on, making this a better world to live in.
