Wright Chat

I found Randolph Henning’s great AGG mono under the tree this morning....kudos to Randolph and thanks to Christine!

I hadn’t known of the chapel in Stamford CT...I’ll have to seek it out. Brick can be brutal too... A couple of miles south from Wright’s Parkwyn Villiage is the former Episcopal Cathedral of Christ the King in Kalamazoo. https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&hl=en-us&a...

A nondescript archives building, designed by TAA, was built south of the main parking lot at TWest in the ‘60s or ‘70’s.

Breuer’s Chapel is good. I also like Paul Rudolph’s chapel at Emory:

Done.

Given Mr. Wisniewski’s age, it might be worth at least reaching out to him to find out what his intentions might be for the items once he is no longer able to hold onto them. As David noted, even if a rebuild of the house is unlikely, it would be a good idea for the collection to be viewed, k...

Matt, the NYT article linked and excerpted in my earlier post is the closest I’ve seen to an inventory of what was salvaged...it is not clear what the condition is of specific items.

1 sheet of 3/4� plywood = 68 lbs. 1/4� plate glass weighs 3.27 lbs. / SF Each 10’ tall French door leaf weighs approximately 80 lbs....12 of them weigh 960 lbs. Each gallery window with its perf weighs about 22 lbs....brass door and window hardware raise these numbers. 5000 lbs is...

A link to the 1984 NYT article which announced the 1953 Exhibition House's existence, or at least the existence of many of its parts. http://www.nytimes.com/1984/06/06/arts/lost-frank-lloyd-wright-house-is-found.html?pagewanted=all The article, presumably closer to the source and more accurate than ...

This is NOT verified and is hearsay on the part of docents (Usonia NY residents) at Usonia during the 2017 FLWBC Conference Saturday tour: During the walking tour of the development, we were walked down a dead end lane to see the site of David Henken's studio and house. The studio and house were not...

Absolute power can corrupt absolutely, particularly with certain character traits thrown into the mix. As to the thousands of small bronze and earthen bells out there, I seriously doubt Paolo had much to do with them after the first few batches of each were made decades ago...their production provid...

A relatively high mount, as Paul R. noted, in the glazed corner would look great...it picks up on the Maxfield Parish "lanterns in the tree" concept when viewed from within the house.

Having this lamp in the room really begs for the steel basket to be fabbed and installed in the fireplace.

Beautiful work...the on grade patio is elegant. Our house was originally built with a structural base slab and a 1� topping with the shake on tint. There is some cracking here and there, but one spot in the living room has a hollow sound when tapped....it is not loose. Did you encounter hollow...

A detailed history, a clear assessment of the current conditions, a concise description of future plans, a call for action....a good article indeed. I hope the effort to undo the accretions, and set up a land plan that will address needs more sensitivly can be carried out...a good building in a weal...

Wright in “Cracked�... the cheap knockoff of Mad magazine. Step aside Howard Stern, FLlW is the king of all media.
