this thread is worthless without pics.

Seriously, show some pics and let the masses decide.

I'm too lazy. Google is your friend.

No. Study the history of architecture, do some research, then bring this thread up again in 2016.

(Cheater notes: We're talking about the greatest architects of three very different eras in much the same way we'd be talking about the greatest quarterbacks of three different eras. The problem: We're talking about Sammy Baugh vs. Johnny Unitas vs. (take your pick, because I'm just going to piss people off with my pick.)

Three wildly different eras, three very gifted and inherently flawed quarterbacks, just as we're talking about three very gifted and inherenty flawed architects.

When did this become an architectural forum that makes reference to football?

I know who you were going to mention and I tend to think of him more as a furniture salesman than as a QB.

That's kind of the same way I think about Frank Lloyd Wright, so maybe we're on the same page.

Geez, what is this board coming to. You can't even bait a Donk fan any more.

I always figured the Guggenheim was his most known design.

IMO Wright did his most solid work in Illinois. (yeah, I'll allow that the ultimate "work of art" that capped his career was built in Pennsylvania. On the other hand, it wasn't a very well built house.)

Guggenheim was way out of his usual genre. I recall some Aztec-inspired monstrosity in California as well.

The guy was spotty.

That's Wright? I doubt it. That's crap.

ClevelandBronco 03-29-2008 12:57 AM

You'd be better off trying to sell me on a student of Mies.

ClevelandBronco 03-29-2008 01:17 AM

I should probably cut Wright a break.

I'll go for the Pie guy. Any person who changes their first name to Instant Message must have made some weird shit.

Anyone know if the house on Numbers is a FLW work? It is definitely inspired by his prairie style.
