What do you know today that you didn't know yesterday?

[Rev. Rye]

the famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright designed the Falling Water House, subsequently judged by the American Institute of Architects to be the “all-time best work of American architecture” and made a World Heritage Site by the UN,  in 3 hours while giving a lecture to his apprentices.

That the American Institute of Architects should accord the Falling Water House such a singular honor says something because Wright spent his entire professional career denigrating, attacking and otherwise making enemies at the American Institute of Architects.

And, in addition to the usual roof leaking endemic to Wright's buildings, they didn't even use enough steel to reinforce the first floor. And the Kaufmans, who Wright made the house for, were actually aware of the problem and tried to fix it, but Wright didn't give a shit. It took until 2001 for them to actually fix the issue.

Yeah, not a fan of Frank Lloyd Wright here.
