Re: Horse club and Sports complex?
I have a Facebook friend who is a foreign architectural student needing inspiration in designing a "Horse club and sports complex." Did Mr. Wright ever design such buildings? Yes, but probably not specifically in line with your friend's needs. Nevertheless ... 1. The "Play Resort and Sports Club" f...

Re: Taliesin West
Thanks! Never suspected a door was there from photos shot from across the room... so the overhead trusses would be parallel to the door "header". Must have been a frequently used shortcut. Yes about the "header", but in my long experience at TW, few ever went out onto the small terrace at the west ...

Where is Section 4 of the 25th Amendment when you need it.

Re: Moy Hill (Taliesin 2020...hubris notwithstanding!)
Nice house, Jim. Where would it be located ? What does the name Moy Hill signify ? Tasty---very tasty. S Thanks, Stephen. Moy is a small village outside Inverness, Scotland and located alongside Loch Moy which has a small island with ruins dating to the origins of clan MacIntosh. I was lucky enough...

Undoubtedly you are referring to the 1954 Restaurant and Delicatessen designed for Yosemite Park, California. Drawings are featured in Taschen: Wright ... 1943-59, p 362Jeff Myers wrote: ↑Tue Jul 20, 2010 5:09 pmWasn't there a TAA Building at Yellowstone or another National Park?

Re: Lecture: Robert McCarter - "The Space Within"
An interesting lecture in a rather unlikely place ... Mississippi State University, in Starkville, Mississippi, a city of some 25,000 people ... and a town with a decidedly checkered history (see it's Wikipedia entry), but at the end of the lecture who knew which building was the last featured struc...

Re: Sure, we can call anything "Frank Lloyd Wright"
Looking for more images of that drafting stool. The drafting table base makes perfect sense, its triangles adapted to the task at hand (as it were). The stool: not so much ? Was it someone's afterthought (or assignment), to make something related to the table base ? What is that T-shaped construct ...

Re: Article: Why hasn't pre-fab home construction taken off?
It seems that "prefab" these days is about modular construction with component like a room or bathroom or kitchen made in a factory and trucked to a site for assembly. This is, to me, a process that is flawed due to the transportation issues. Why not a system of posts and panels? I think Shindler h...

Re: Book: Car is Architecture - FLW's cars & motorcycle
Voisin's dealers demanded a mascot on the radiator, as all other luxury or sporting Grand Touring cars of the period had them. Gabriel Voisin, thinking it a ridiculous and unnecessary bauble, gave the dealers and customers a mascot, but designed it on his terms: it was light weight (scraps from the...

Re: The Illinois 'Mile-High' Tower Architectural Model
Yes, the Illinois was "for Chicago", but to be fair to Mr. Wright, he intended his Mile High to be set in a one-mile-square park, his reasoning being squarely in line with decentralization. Rather than cluttering the landscape with buildings and streets covering every scrap of land ... it would be ...
