Prairie School

The term "Prairie School" was not actually used by these architects to describe themselves ; the term was coined by H. Allen Brooks, one of the first architectural historians to write extensively about these architects and their work. The Prairie school shared an embrace of handcrafting and craftsman guilds as a reaction against the new assembly line, mass production manufacturing techniques, which they felt created inferior products and dehumanized workers.

Prairie School •Broad, gently sloping roofs with low chimneys, balconies and terraces extending in several directions •Emphasis on natural materials-woods stone •Leaded windows patterned with colored glass •Bands of casement windows •Wood strips to emphasize structural elements  horizontal lines  windows grouped in horizontal bands, integration with the landscape  solid construction & indigenous materials  Horizontal lines were thought to evoke and relate to the native prairie landscape. http://www.frontdesk.co.in/forum/
