LOL!

It’s the one reason why I have a love-hate view on Wright.

Incredible designs, but seriously some of his material usage (overuse) is stifling.

Frank Lloyd Wright had no grasp of structural loads. It was a good thing his design wasn’t built.

But he is so highly regarded by the “experts” in architecture.

Yet his signature house was characterized by being over-budget, not-really-what-the-owner-wanted, plagued severe water and humidity problems, falling trusses and failed major structural members requiring MASSIVE rebuilding money after only a few years, and an uncomfortable open too-humid interior.

Textbook awarded? Certainly. But a good house? Terrible home.
