Feeling Usonian Automatic ?

Frank Lloyd Wright house for sale in my old 'hood - AllGold - 05-15-2018 The entire house is built of pre-cast, terra-cotta-tinted concrete blocks, formed on a 2-foot module. Not that I'm a FLW expert, but I haven't seen that in other houses. I love FLW, but I hate his no-garage insistence and if I actually had the money for a house like that, I would have to add a garage of some sort. I have never actually been in a FLW-designed house, however, I have been in one designed by one of his disciples. Re: Feeling Usonian Automatic ?

Touring the Robie House in South Side Chi-town tomorrow. Re: Feeling Usonian Automatic ? Frank Lloyd Wright house for sale in my old 'hood - Bo - 05-17-2018 Twice a year when I pay my property taxes I get to wander through a FLW building. He designed our local civic center. Cool building to be inside. Rides that line between nostalgia and futurism. It was featured heavily in Gattaca https://www.google.com/search?q=marin+civic+center&client=safari&rls=en&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiS95r4uovbAhXkzVQKHQ19CBUQ_AUICygC&biw=1337&bih=1329 Also got to tour Taliesen West over the holidays. Another very cool facility. Was surprised to hear it is still an active architecture school. Re: Feeling Usonian Automatic ?
