The concepts Frank Lloyd Wright never built

Tour guides are… well, I’ll just leave it at that.

Per a F. L. Wright documentary, that gorgeous ceiling in the Johnson building leaked a lot, and the Falling Waters house had (and may still have last I read) serious innate structural problems. Function did not follow form (as was not atypical for Wright structures) and his interiors in some cases were ‘take it or leave it’, i.e., they were meant to look great, but not allow you to keep all the stuff you already have. (The doco also went into how FLW early on claimed greater credit for work he had been involved in.)
