I love looking at it. I wouldn't want to deal with living in it. It's leaky and underengineered. Pretty much typical for Wright's stuff.

Don't get me wrong. I think he's an artist of the highest order. But he's the ultimate answer to the question, "why do I have to learn math? I'll never use it." He should have learned just a little more.

I'm partial to Wright strictly on appearance, but this guy has lots of TV screens, so it's a tossup.

Maybe I'm giving mathematics too much credit. Any structure built with a flat roof using substandard materials is going to be a problem. (And Wright built plenty of those.) It doesn't really take a math genius to figure out the way water is going to work against you over time.

And don't even get me started on Pei. The guy has a chance to do one of the most important additions ever, and he decides to invent the pyramid.

Thanks for the revelation.

You're probably right. I've just always been enamored by it.

No way. I would think more people have heard of Wright than any other architect, other than possibly Wren.

Gehry is a showoff who is taking advantage of materials that weren't available earlier, while at the same time he swindles his way into the upper echelons of architecture. He'll be surpassed soon when enough people understand that walls that fly off organically into space really don't leave enough floor space for that all-important guest bathroom.
