As a personal affront to Don Guido, I will be celebrating the greatest American Architect of the 20th century - one Mr. Frank Lloyd Wright, with rotating Avys of his finest works each week.

This week, Fallingwater.

http://www.fallingwater.org

I have been fortunate enough to take in the masterpiece in person. It's literally built in a real waterfall.

>>Time cited it after its completion as Wright's "most beautiful job";[5] it is listed among Smithsonian's Life List of 28 places "to visit before you die."[6] It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1966.[3] In 1991, members of the American Institute of Architects named the house the "best all-time work of American architecture" and in 2007, it was ranked twenty-ninth on the list of America's Favorite Architecture according to the AIA.<<

I do like his designs . . . just not the way he handled himself as an Architect and please do avatar them . . . I'll try not criticize each one. When I was a young fledgling student of Architecture I studied him well . . . then as I gained real experience and knowledge as a design Architect myself, I grew to cast him aside as any Architect not to emulate.

Falling Water - Beautiful, creative but no family could live there and leaked like a sieve. It's supposed to be a house but nobody could live in it. Cardinal sin for an architect. Enough about FLW and I'm Irish and an Architect but not egomaniacal . . . much?!

He would if he was part of Mafia . . . not that I was but grew up with and around many Italians, like many Irish lads. Although the Irish could never be "made" they still held significantly high ranks . . . thus I "made" myself, taking on the moniker and title of DonGuido, I am often referred to as "The Don".
