Protomodernism

The protomodernism movement was an interesting design style for its time. Rather than going against the arts and crafts and art nouveau movements, it seems to reject them instead and become a new thing entirely on its own. Instead of working with previous designs, this era allowed artists to come up with new and innovative creations that were entirely their own.
A great example of this are the designs by Frank Lloyd Wright, who was an American architect. A lot of his methods included design motifs that works in tandem with nature, as well as using glass elements and a natural color palette. Many of these worked together to make "organic architecture." He also used hipped roofs  and a prairie style exterior which includes elements like: an interior focused on family, a center fireplace, built in furniture, and other unique architectures.
