Wright Chat

Wow, smack dab in the middle of Columbus, cool.

Now, are we talking about Tony Smith the sculptor?

1939!

Old Chinese proverb say: "foundation of high is low."

Reflecting on peterm's photographs: They remind me of something I think perhaps during Wright's time was in the foreground but now is obscured. This is the moral sense in his work of living more with less. Wasn't that part of the appeal of his work, the sense of being closer to what is ultimate by e...

Whew, nice house there peterM

The houses he did for himself are the ones that come to mind first for me. They probably rank at the top for most people here too, I'd bet on that. Will be interesting to see what else comes up especially from the "old hands" and and their comments -also those who have experience with rest...

WOW. From the entry it looks like one steps up to the bedroom wing and down to the living room where the study has a cool interior balcony. On the workspace side of the house how does the entry level get to the workspace level? I can't seem to find stairs on that end. I am unable to understand the r...

1915 ...wow.
