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.
