Abstract
This chapter uses a combined syntactical and grammatic method to analyse 19 of Frank Lloyd Wright's Prairie houses. The purpose of this analysis is to illuminate the formal and social properties of Wright's early architecture. The data developed through this process is used to provide mathematical insights into the topological and geometric patterns that provide the foundation for Wright's Prairie style language. The data is then used to generate a new socially and formally derived and compliant instance of this style. Whereas past research has shown how Wright's architecture might be computationally generated solely on the basis of its formal composition, this chapter shows how its social and functional properties can also be replicated as part of such a process.
