Frank Lloyd Wright designed awesome buildings, but his "usonian" urban planning ideas (i.e. Broadacre City) were fucking catastrophic.

I haven't been able to find the reference again, but I read something that said he actually worked for the FHA and wrote some of their design guidelines -- in other words, that he was directly responsible for the proliferation of suburban sprawl.
