I have to admit though that I did laugh at the term “inferior desecrator.” But he’s one to talk – I’ve always disliked his interior design, which is half William Morris/half pre-Columbian. Did anyone see the dezeen article about how his plans for the Guggenheim museum planned for it to be red, and in brick? It was partly thanks to Solomon Guggenheim’s interference that it’s so pretty today.

Wright was notorious for his ego, treatment of women and his infamous foul moods. A thoroughly obnoxious human being who believed that he was God’s gift to the Earth and intended everyone to know the fact.

I want to see photos. That’s on the level of most TV home makeover shows now, where the “after” pics are usually worse. Even apocalyptically worse.

We are lucky to live in a rent flat in an awarded house by a Corbusier-oriented architect. The tenant who had the flat before us could not stand the modernity of it. He applied fake plaster battens around the ceiling and wrapped a cement column into wallpaper. That monster.
