I’ve lived in the PHX area since '79 and have driven past this place many times. Never dropped the $3 though, probably should have. Very impressive. Though unrelated, check out Arcosanti, about and hour drive north.
this is the content i come to the boards for

Perhaps you prefer Corbusier.
The fundamental “module” of the Modulor is a six-foot man, allegedly based on the usual height of the detectives in the English crime novels Corbusier enjoyed.

It should be noted that Le Corbusier was shorter than 1.83 m, as are the vast majority of women.
I just read this a few weeks ago, or I would never have had the context for this exchange on early processors, hehe…
Corbusier - no. His Ville Radieuse was fine for the south of France, but his ideas didn’t travel well. I’m a failed architecture student, and that was a looong time ago. I can’t even remember the name of my favourite modern architect. I do remember that he gave us a lecture in Edinburgh once, and we had put soluble antacid tablets in his water carafe which he seemed to appreciate. My wife professes to admire architecture (much more than I do) but her delight is mainly in decoration, so I can breathe more easily. P.S. It was James Stirling.
