Architecture

Plankton posted it here a while back, so he must like it, and it was very innovative for its time, but I'm a closet iconoclast, so I can always find something to grumble about:-

i) it's ok if you're super-rich
ii) "the sound of falling water is everywhere"= bl**dy annoying I should think
iii) it was here I believe that FLW had the tables and armchairs bolted to the floor because there was only one position that looked right to him: very impractical, reduces the versatility of the spaces to zero, and is called meglomania not architecture.

Nonetheless, can't really deny that FLW was a genius.
