The builder apparently had a problem building anything with straight lines so he put a curve on everything, Frank Lloyd Wright he wasn't.

 

Frank Loyd Wright - a few of my favorite quotes about his work:

 

'Never leave a piece of art out in the rain.'

 

Falling Water is nicknamed 'rising mildew'

 

I love his work but what arrogance.  He fought with the structural engineer on the cantilever balconies in Falling Water, saying that there was plenty of steel.  The engineer added extra steel and it turns out that there isn't enough.  There is just barely enough to keep it together (the balconies are falling) and they are spending millions to fix this.
