OTOH, all of those yuppie prison colonies are going to start looking like shit in twenty years.

OTM! Why is cinder block the building material of choice for all new buildings in my neighborhood? I mean, I know why... but there should be some point where no matter how cheap the building materials are, they're deemed too ugly to use.

The skylights were particularly affecting. I almost burst into tears when the tour entered the final room of the tour, the circular library. Luckily I am British, and nobody else in the tour party ever suspected that I wasn't made entirely of stone.

My girlfriend has a FLW based house on her street too in East Lansing, and its pretty bomb. It looks small from the outside, but ends up being pretty damn comfortable and roomy inside.

Don't hate just because someone doesn't know how to use forms to make it look interesting. Aerated concrete block is the STUFFS, let me tell you now.
BTW, what is it with Americans and wood frame construction? I'm an American, and I can barely figure it out.

Architect David Romero is constructing unbuilt FLW buildings as 3D renders. The results are pretty good: http://www.hookedonthepast.com

I posted a couple of months ago about a Philip Johnson biography I read. Interesting dynamic between him and Wright. They seemed to hate each other but understood how the other could be useful so kept up an arm's-length relationship. At first Johnson needed Wright (definitely), later on the reverse (less so).

I live a mile from his home and studio, AMA.
What's that? The first question is, is there indeed a big ginkgo tree out front that often smells like dog shit? Why, yes, funny you should ask, there is! It's historic and can't be cut down.

Love those interior shots. His chairs are mostly uncomfortable as fuck, but I love the thought he put into interiors, even when he was a cranky bastard about the proper use of "his" buildings.

Is it challopsy to say that I don't really like his late-career round building phase?

Friends of ours stayed at a Wright house just outside of Cleveland and had a little Christmas party while they were there. Really beautiful interior.
