    Louis Henry Sullivan was an American architect, and has been called the father of skyscrapers and father of modernism. He is considered by many as the creator of the modern skyscraper, was an influential architect and critic of the Chicago School, was a mentor to Frank Lloyd Wright, and an inspiration to the Chicago group of architects who have come to be known as the Prairie School. Along with Wright and Henry Hobson Richardson, Sullivan is one of the recognized trinity of American architecture.
