What’s amazing is the extent to which classical design still influenced early modernists.

Everybody thinks they’re an architect, but how many of you basic bitch draftsmen ever got a handy from Stalin’s daughter?
Not a goddamn one. FLW got them red handies four times a day out in Scottsdale, which was America’s most Western town back then. |

Communists don't make good architects in my opinion and even worse builders. The ugliness in their souls is reflected in everything they do.
Wright seems like a man who tried to make beautiful things. Tried a little too hard from time to time and paid a price for it. But I would say his work left a lot of beauty in the world. That's a fine legacy. |

It’s… probably not as bad as you think it is.

We have in bartlesville the only skyscraper designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.

There is a 5,000sq ft house in Paul's Valley Oklahoma that was designed by a student of Frank Lloyd Wright. My uncle was trying to buy it then the deal fell through.
