Re: Bamboo ... and Wright of course
Wouldn't it be more in the spirit of an organic architecture and sustainability to research and plant what is native to your region? Most bamboo is horribly invasive and requires a lot of water.

Re: Video: Lighting at the Laurent House - Rockford, IL
"Tree" lamp? Has anyone ever read where Wright referred it as that? The pendant version was referred to as the "stalact-light" at least by some apprentices..an abstraction of the ice formations that hang from caves. So, would the floor version be the "stalag-light"..
