The architecture discussion is mirroring the actual topic brilliantly. 🙂
I tend to like straight ahead arts and crafts and craftsman appointments rather than some of the grand ideals that FLW incorporated. It's cool to look at- Falling Water is a most glorious place- it couldn't have been comfortable to live in. Going to Oak Park and doing the FLW walk- you get to appreciate a lot of it, and question the sanity of a lot of it. That "journey of discovery" is the biggest load of hooey ever... It would piss me off to have to walk (or load furniture or anything) through doorways canted at those odd angles.

I still want to visit Taliesin.
