ha suscitato le lodi


Explanation:
da sensation si potrebbe tradurre con: "ha suscitato molto interesse e Frank Lloyd Wright ne persino elogiato le qualità"


(non mi piace molto quel persino o perfino... magari andrebbe meglio un "al punto che Llloyd Wright ne ha elogiato le qualità o ne ha tessuto le lodi", ma si tratta di sfumature, il senso generale della frase rimane).
sensation: .
a. A state of intense public interest and excitement: "The purser made a sensation as sailors like to do, by predicting a storm" Evelyn Waugh.
b. A cause of such interest and excitement. See Synonyms at wonder.


to elicit: 2. To call forth, draw out, or provoke (a reaction, for example). See Synonyms at evoke. (v. http://www.thefreedictionary.com)
