Oak Park, a suburb of Chicago, is famous for its architectural heritage. During my visit, I explored the works of Frank Lloyd Wright and other notable architects who made this place their home. One of the most impressive buildings I saw was the Unity Temple. It is a masterpiece of modern architecture that emphasizes the importance of light and space in design. Another noteworthy building I visited was the Robie House, which is a prime example of the Prairie School style. I also noticed how the houses on the streets were built in perfect harmony with nature, reflecting the values of the Arts and Crafts Movement that originated in Oak Park. It was fascinating to compare and contrast the different styles of architecture that coexist in this small but diverse community.
