Great video except the redlining and racism - the color of the skin had little to do with it - it was content of there character. I’ve been to every major city in North America and it’s the same story in all of the . Once great areas have been trashed and major violence. Just like it was prone to flooding - I would red line it. I lived in the most violent city in California but didn’t have to redline it was clear just by looking you didn’t want live in the area. Now you go into many of the same places to fix things and you are gentrifying and one still living there are outraged.
Did FLW live his best Live? we wonder ..He was Bold, Daring, a Rebel in the Soul, which inspired his Followers but he also bowed to the demands of Corporate America, like the Johnson Building. Gas Stations and auto dealerships....with these type of Glue , Screws and Nails will no longer be necessary....lol...if you miss it, there will be no More..ok..no more Bullshit... the Marino County Building and the Solomon Guggenheim are epic Buildings..after his Oak Park Residence went up in Flames, in Ashes..FLW dixit..God does not seem to approve of my personal life but he must approve of my Work coz my Studio was untouched..FLW, always the Self promoter..lol
Удивительная лекция! Большое спасибо!

A brilliant lecture. Brownlee explains how in the 20th century cars and rapid population growth transformed farmland into concrete and asphalt grids for open-sky living. Tastes changed from appreciating the clothes and jewelry decorating human bodies to appreciating the facads of homes and vehicles. The shallowness of Wright as evidenced by his multiple cars, wives, and homes carried into his showy, wasteful, and uncomfortable structures. He distracts from his and his clients' unattractive physical appearances by expanding the self into the structures the individual is seen in, A spiral ramp is a horrible way of displaying art, but it is showy. Covering a rushing stream with a terrace hides the beauty of nature in order to produce a showy magazine cover. It is ironic that Brownlee sees what a shallow person Wright was for an organization wishing to preserve a wasteful and pretentious building by Wright.
Beautiful building.
He was heavily into root 2 geometry which he learned from his time in Japan. The roof pattern is a star tetrahedron if you draw another inverted triangle from the top of the hexagon
really helpful video
Great last line.
Very nice well put together informative video. I have been a fan of FLLW since high-school. I stupid him extensively, I have many books about him and visited and toured dozens of his buildings. He was the greatest architect in the last 500 years. He was an amazing ahead of his time architectural genius. He was so ahead of his time that humanity still hasn't caught up to him.
His organic architecture was Regionally Critical before it was cool 💁
Great memorable building, thank you for sharing.
