giantslothIn case I haven't pimped this elsewhere, this is my latest architectural profile for the News and Observer. I don't know why the paper posts such tiny photos on their Web site when the dead-tree version has nice big photos. Anyway. Check it out if you want to read about a modernist house that managed not to get knocked down.
I've been trying to find time to ponder the buildings that AIA claims are America's Favorite Architecture. The list is, mostly, the usual suspects, although the order is interesting. The Jefferson Memorial is in fourth place overall, ahead of the Chrysler Building, Hearst Castle, the Guggenheim?
And of course the usual thing the list shows is, USians are perfectly happy to pick Frank Lloyd Wright as their favorite residential architect, even though almost zero of them choose to live in a house that embodies any Wrightian concepts.
