Wright Chat

We need to reach out to communities of color, somehow. My two cents.... The current "world" of Frank Lloyd Wright needs to diversify in an overall sense. I think the most important aspects of diversity aren't racial, but in age-brackets and economic-brackets. How can Wright events bring i...

To clarify, my observation about seating near the fireplace wasn't limited to built-ins; there are plenty of examples of Wright designs with stand-alone chairs positioned in front of the fireplace.... It was more about the lack of space for the possibility to sit near the fire. In this case, the pro...

And what’s that ladder above the desk in #15? They lead to sleeping lofts that seem to have been added for children... Zillow only has a fraction of the photos that the "Spacecrafting" site has... I tried the SC site on Chrome, Safari, and Firefox on my (updated) Mac and they all w...

It's a very interesting house... Does anyone else find it to be an especially peculiar design? I'm no expert, but to use the terminology of Grant Hildebrand, it seems to be a very "refuge-dominant" house. I suppose that makes sense considering it was called "Below Zero"... But I ...

Looks like the opening event is $55 general admission, but every tour thereafter is $35. I actually find this noteworthy because I feel all people should have the opportunity to experience something like touring a Wright house. (Even at $35 a pop, that's $140 to take a family of 4 to see it.)

Some nice photos (scroll button is small):

Stumbled upon this home on a Google image search.... Looks like the original link in this thread is down, so here it is: https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/201-Spring-Grove-Ave-San-Rafael-CA-94901/19245470_zpid/ I'd love to see the other home by Mary Joy Barnett that was linked, which is also now do...

Fyi, Brendan Gill attacked Joseph Campbell posthumously: "'He wasn't my enemy when he was an obscure person full of eccentric notions,'' Mr. Gill said in a telephone interview..... ''But,'' Mr. Gill continued, explaining his decision to publish his anti-Campbell essay, ''when he became a conspi...

Total missed opportunity for someone to photoshop pork pie hats onto rats.

Let me re-write this article for the author..... Frank Lloyd Wright is not God by Chantal Panozzo I love Switzerland very, very much. I shouldn't have moved away. Also, I bought a Frank Lloyd Wright house without realizing people would drive by and take exterior photos of it. I mean, who does that i...

One criticism of Wright that I think is fair, is how his homes leave little decorative creativity to their occupants. Only particular types of people seem to be able to effectively marry their style with Wright's... I'm sympathetic to this homeowner, even though some of their personal touches seem o...
