Wright Chat

"Roy crafters?"

Perhaps they will finally rid themselves of the horrible decor in the hotel part of the tower. My stay here years ago continues to be one of the greatest disappointments of any Wright designed structure I have visited.

Looks like any other new build in Los Angeles save for the stilts (which may not be allowed according to current building codes?)

That house looks unchanged since I toured it in 2000. Those plywood panels still patch the ceiling, the wood is untended and what remains of the carport is still collapsing.

Why is it so hard to use terms that people in a particular group prefer, if they must be used at all? It always seems to be those who are straight, white and male and hence have never been labeled as "other" are the ones who don't get it. As a gay man, if you need to label me in order to d...

It appears they are renovating the existing gym built by the friars (now used as the current visitors' center) and adding on to it with the new glass structure. If so, they don't have much choose as to placement. I agree that so much glass isn't the best idea for a lakeside house in Buffalo but it w...

Such as sad little mess at this point. The Clarke house won a Mention, Class II from Progressive Architecture magazine on June, 1949. May shared this honor for residential design with Richard Neutra for his Case Study House #20 and Paul Rudolph / Ralph Twitchell for their Miller Residence in Sarasot...
