Wright Chat

You certainly are going to extreme lengths here! Horse hair no less. GOOD LORD! I think you may have broken 17 state laws about naked horse Pr0|\|ography! I know exactly what you are saying about the toilets. I swear, I have spent more time looking at, checking out, and inspecting damn toilet bowls ...

Po' Peepul? What are you talking about man?



People who earn less than $100,000 a year you mean?



We can reserve the *real* prairie for them!

I liked it.



But I didn't feel "immersed".



That's still a few years away I think.

Congratulations PHarding! An excellent purchase - and thank goodness they're going to an FLW afficionado, and not some speculator who wouldn't appreciate them. To the posters who have queried the price; it's obvious you have no concept of what an auction is: a willing seller, presenting goods to a c...

Looks damned nice to me, at least in its form, and exterior. The inside just looks awful though, at least to my 21st century eyes. They must have looked great back in the day though. I've never been a real fan of Frank's interiors though: too busy, too "woody", too "old" and too ...

More than 10 and less than 100. A trawl through Storer might establish what MIGHT be considered Usonian. However, there are numerous problems as I see it. Usonia was meant to be Wright's democratic ideal, where ideal small houses could be built for the genuine middle class of America. We know the PR...

If I lived in the USA, I'd pay cash for it today, and move there tomorrow.



That is so cheap - how come it hasn't been snapped up?

Jackless take it easy. In no way ar ethe site administrators liable for the actions of its members. And given that they allow anonymous postings - they're none too smart, nor too interested in the contejnt posted here. As to the article. I found it essentially unreadable. It's classic academia jargo...

Grid patterns were based, for the most part, on 4' x 2' (AAARGH! Make that 1200 x 600 in real measurements!) and in some circumstances 1200 x 1200mm. The Goetsch Winkler house was 4'x4', but most usonians were 4'x2'. The colour varied somewhat, as dying concrete is something of a hit and miss affair...

Bah! Apple deserve no such mention. The very words "Personal Computing" go back to IBM! It is IBM, who opened up the architecture of the "IBM PC" who are directly responsible for the PC as it stands today. Given that Mac have less than 5% of the PC market, they're inconsequential...

That's great - thanks a lot!



Two thumbs up.

Florian, thanks for publishing the photos of your models - they look great. Can you explain what the "yellow bananas" are? I'm fascinated by your tiny models, and wonder what they mean. Do you have some sort of written document concerning your models, which you could post here for our edif...

I just absolutely love it when items are used for their intended purpose, regardless of "monetary value". This to me is very important. While I support the idea of Frank's homes being museums so visitors can see them - I despise the fact they aren't being actually lived in, like they were ...

Love the look of the Pauson house.



The ruins are stunning, but not as nice as the dwelling!
