Wright Chat

I've got it! I'll ship my two Eames chairs and ottomans to DRN, let them "live" in a Wright house for a year. Take pics, etc., make copies of the plans, then put them up on Ebay for $250K, purchase two new ones for myself, buy back all the missing Sweeton furniture and give those back to D...

A review of the DS as only James May can do. The Goddess.

Always wanted one. Would have been more odd though better than the 1968 Rover 2000 TC I once drove.

Yes, it is a '52 Chrysler New Yorker. The split windscreen differentiates it from the others. It looks to be a convertible as well.

Somewhere in my books, there's a drawing of Wright's of a car design with cantilevers on the sides and back window area. SDR?

Car crazy too!

I read somewhere that Lautner "walked-away" from this mess. Dolores making ch-ch-ch-changes before and during and perhaps after? If you hire a great or even a good architect, let him or her run with it. As long as the brief is solid, let the designer do the job for YOU. No one needs a 50 m...

This is surely great fun to read and explore...carry on please. We had a great Calder sculpture here in Fort Worth. Then it went away.... http://metroplexing.blogspot.com/2011/03/missing-art-of-metroplex-what-did.html The bank building was hit hard by the big tornado. Word is it twisted the building...

Yes, would love to see a plan. What a beautiful compact design. The Paul house looks to be on a 4' X 4' parallelogram? I was comparing the early images from Aaron Green's website to those in the listing site. It looks to be in very good and unaltered condition. View from Google Maps: http://tinyurl....

dtc,

What a magical house. I know it gives you much joy year-in and year-out. It's perhaps one of the most livable Wright spaces I've ever been in.

I hate, but sometimes use the term "happy accidents" but there they are dancing around. No denying it.

Roderick, I just finished this book. David Henken (Priscilla's husband) was constantly on "boiler duty". It must have been very cold that winter (still are I suspect). Priscilla's keen observations of "the Queen" are rather telling. She must have been one of the better cooks by t...

I can only imagine. This story that proves to be a ever-growing nightmare is becoming much too much. I don't get it.

Mr Sells is not a salesman. He is a detached idiot, that has no clue.

m.perrino,
That would have been a neat gig to attend. Max is a great drummer who makes it look so easy with his relaxed, but spot-on technique.

A nice round drum kit of his choice would look (and sound) very good in Phoenix!

I'm planning to visit the exhibit this weekend. One of my art teacher colleagues liked it, yet thought it a "scattershot" collection as does the Star-Telegram reviewer. She brought me a copy of the brochure that features a die cut window to match the clerestory perfs. Printed on very nice ...

Okay, I couldn't stand not having this book in my collection. My Christmas present to myself has been ordered (along with a few others). Look forward to it!

There you have it. Once again.

I can see Sweeton turned into a workshop once again? It must pain you DRN, to see these "parts" sold off with no regard to the "whole." Keep doing what you're doing please. Such a lovely house I hope to visit again sometime.
