Gotta love FLW......and his words of wisdom....EVENthough
his furniture is very very uncomfy! *blinks furiously*
=0)

TV is chewing gum for the eyes.

-Frank Lloyd Wright, architect (1867-1959)

FLW was a great architect, but I dont know why, I dont like
it as much as other old geniouses (van der rhoe, corbu,
aalto...)
the quote anyway its just great... I didnt know it... more
than chewing gum, now tv is more like acid for the brain

i agree.....with your assessment of FLW

and with the TV assessment as well.

FLW was innovative for sure, but he's not the GOD people
make him out to be.

The Split-Atom Blues

Gimme Twinkies, gimme wine,
Gimme jeans by Calvin Kline ...
But if you split those atoms fine,
Mama keep 'em off those genes of mine!

Gimme zits, take my dough,
Gimme arsenic in my jelly roll ...
Call the devil and sell my soul,
But Mama keep dem atoms whole!
-- Milo Bloom, "Bloom County"

I'm a student in archtecture, and I'm really digging the
whole Prairie movement. I'm trying to figure out a way to
create a neo-prairie style for our modern times. I hate
about 90% of all residential housing, I feel it's bland and
caters to the uneccesary needs of people "Oh it feels like
an old castle therefore it's expensive".

FLW is my mentor.

Anyway nacmat, how do you relate to LeCorbusier being more
liked by you than somebody like FLW? Ok both have had
failures in their architecture, but LeCorbusier just tried
too darmn hard, his theories are flawled and most of his
created ideas are simply baaaaad.

Or is it the pure emotion of the buildings by LC vs. FLW?

better do something instead of thinking about how to create
another neo wave in architecture. bleh, architects will
never change - mambling all the way.

really.

I just prefer le corbusier to frank

his buildings are exciting for my brain

frank´s architecture is boring for me... but I respect him
and wish I had his brain

i doubt that any of you really knows how bulding process
looks. and whats the architect part in it.

and its gay to say "ze day"

you doubted too much now... I know it and any architect does
know it

you seem to have a go with architects, why?

its something what i got on my studies, unfortunately. i
dont like when some ppl are not mentioned while they should
be, you know wbout who im talking. plus the fact, that for
me its just about building, without any philosophical
extensions. its allways a bit l;augh for me when i read
about "wcreations of neo styles for modern architecture".
its a waste of time for me, mambling about how some curves
and straight lines makes space more philosophical. thats
all.

if you dont understand doesnt mean that its stupid or
vanal... architecture is not only technical, its also art...
you like it or not

the fact that you dont understand it explains why oyu are
what you are and not an architect... diferent people are
valid for diferent things in life

It's art, therefore it can be categorised. I'm sorry but De
Stijl is not Neo-gothical, whatever it's a building or not.

Aestical aspects of building is more than important, it
shapes society and society shapes it.
