My daughter graduated RPI Architectural program. On a business trip to Scottsdale, we visited Wright's winter home. Want some tidbits? I'm over 6 feet and my first impression was how low the ceilings and door ways were - Mr Wright was very short and this was reflected in his architecture in AZ. He built his home in the middle of a desert and the front patio area was designed to a point, whereas, to resemble the bow of a ship in the middle of the ocean (desert). He also designed many built-ins

and designed his own furniture. His bedroom area simple, was also designed with a built in bed area and bath. He entertained a lot and had also designed a separate building to house a piano with acoustic features and movie accommodations. He didn't just design a building, he considered all aspects of daily living. The facility is open for tour, houses Wright student undergrads (cult like) and the tour staff is excellent.

It's a short article. There are no rules that someone needs to cover all 400 some FLW designs in one article.

Or the iconic Larkin Building? Not as interesting as the dog house, huh?
