I tried to think of something amusing for my subject line, I really did.
What's up with the new logged-in LJ home? It's lame. It reminds me of VOX and that's dumb. Hurr. I Bite My Thumb at this needless change.

Um. I basically just logged in to say "look how cool Frank Lloyd Wright is"
His last building project was the Guggenheim Museum, 1943-59, right

and one of his earliest was built in 1889. Yeah. That's right.
His career spanned 71 years. Yes. I believe he had about 1000 of his buildings built, and many more unbuilt designs (obviously.)

That's the 1889 one. But he had works earlier, because I think he started in 1887. Eh

So yeah. pretty cool guy... Absolutely awful home life though. Wouldnt' want to be him.
See that's the trouble. All the brilliant architects are either barking mad or fairly inept or unlucky with relationships. Wright wasn't mad, but he had relationship troubles + family murdered troubles. Okay, so not his fault.

Going back to study now. *tips hat*

It's a bizzaro spiral. You take the lift to the top and walk down. Very nice piece of work (duh ;-)
