Wright was very passionate about Japanese culture, style, art, and architecture. He used it as a heavily influence in his works, showing great interest in ukiyo-e woodblock prints, he took great inspiration from Ernest Fenollosa, an American art historian of Japanese art, and went on to create a book that could be percieved as a direct expansion of Fenollosa's ideas.
The window designs shown from Robie House, exhibit strong geometric patterns, one of his favourite motifs.
Wright's period of his career
landed just before the age of comupters encorporation into desgining, so his work process didn't include much technology.
His career also fell before modern environmentalism, so not much of his work reflected the progressive views pertaining the environement. He did however have many of his works in architecture, was heavily surrounded by nature, so he obviously had a love for it.
War was something that surrounded his life and career, both before and during. He seemed to design a lot of houses positioned in suburban areas, due to WWI and II the economic status of the United States would've dropped.

In the past approx. 40 years, technology and design have joined hand in hand to help and aid eachother. There have been many differences between modern day design and past designs, many stemming from our access to tech and software that helps our way of designing. MAKE has a very stream lined and sleek design style, one heavily influeced by tech
Frank Lloyd Wright and MAKE designs, both explore Art Deco deisgns, in interior and exterior decorating.
Both encorporate a great deal of nature and flora in their designs, whether its the setting of a forest or bringing the green onto the outside of the building. Both have extensive use of line and geometric shapes in their interior design, and utilise pattern and texture in their exterior design.
