Wright Chat

The photos in the two references in the last response are from a magazine article of a few years ago. I can't put my finger on it but it may have been architectural digest. The photos were new at the time, and I believe the article said this was the first time the house had been extensively publishe...

Donald W. Aitken is the son-in-law of Herbert and Katherine Jacobs, and commissioned a Taliesin-designed Usonian house. If you google "Donald W. Aitken house" you will come up with an extensive discussion on this site from 2006 when it was for sale: Search Results Web results Wright Chat :...

Rather than wrinkling one's nose at the thought, horror of horrors, this article might be a precursor to a house sale, should we not applaud an educational piece to attract a purchaser who will appreciate the house and its pedigree?

Spent some time there Saturday, as did Richard Neutra's son Raymond, and grandson, and a gaggle of architects photographing and appreciating. It is a truly wonderful, happy space. Very compact in terms of square feet, but expansive in terms of openness. Original Neutra colored pencil renderings hang...

It depends on how much time you have and how often you're in NYC, but here are an eclectic collection of some of my favorites. You can look them up online and judge for yourself what is of interest to you: ARCHITECTURE/DESIGN DOWNTOWN: Whitney (Renzo Piano) Center for Architecture Van Alen Institute...

Yes please lets not ruin this site with politics of any persuasion. It may be important but there are a million sites to do that on, and only one Wright chat intended to, well, chat about Wright and his architecture.
