Anyone else love everything he ever did? He's amazing.
 
i'm doing a paper on wingspread right now, so it was on my mind and i wanted to share.

check out this office attached to wingspread:

and the reason it's called wingspread is because the house is a series of wings resembling a pinwheel:

his work is amazing. lots of new construction around my city takes lots of influence of his style.
 
nah, right now, Corbusier and Mies van der Rohe are way hotter, cause everybody has delved into the world of Prarie houses and shit. nothing against wright though
 
The Taliesin that's in Wisconsin is pretty sweet. I believe there's several houses around town designed by him too. He has some pretty sweet stuff.

My favourite building right now, the new Scottish Parliament by Morales. The attention to detail is a work of art.
