Details Matter...

In the course of my weekend reading I just discovered the mentor of my Arch History professor was the favored student, employee, and protègé of my second least favorite Architect.

So my Professor's Professor's Professor was someone who's designs I dislike greatly*.

This is important, because I am apt to bring up one of said Architect's buildings as an example of pretty but failed design.

However, not in this class.


*In fairness his ideas are frequently great, it's just the niggly little details that make the buildings usable for humans he kept screwing up.

Night with Wright

So there was an short but interesting little article about spending the night in one of Frank Lloyd Wright Usonian houses that is only 25 miles from falling water.

It seems like an interesting possibility and something to think about doing in couple of years from now.

It appears to be a mostly rental at $385 a night, two-night minimum, $770 a weekend wil have to wait for while.
