I recently found this little book^ A nice way to pick up some information, with short bits of text and lots of pictures. I will be able to name some favourites when I finish this. Like Frank Lloyd Wright :xx:

I don't think there is such a thing as brutalist architecture. That was Skinner's label for the Soviet architecture that he posted.

brutalism has its moments. seems like it was huge in the 60's and 70's. lots of government type buildings used it for some reason.

Earlier this evening I learned that my grandfather was the contractor that constructed what must have been one of Wright's last designs in 1959.  As a 10 year old my father did simple tasks like installing the handles on the kitchen cabinets.  This only came up in conversation because he was recently informed that the house is still there, and the original owner (he is now 92 years old) still lives in it.  My dad said he would like to stop by for a visit, but I know he would never do anything that forward.
 
And in a surprising coincidence I just learned that the house went up for sale about 48 hours ago.  There are lots of good pictures at the link below, and it's funny looking at them because it's exactly how my dad was described it a few hours ago even though he hadn't seen it in about 60 years.

Here's what my dad had to say when I forwarded him the link about the house being for sale:
 
Kevin,
 
Thanks for sharing, my dad really enjoyed building this house because of the challenging design!
Most building contractors didn't even want to submit a bid on it since the house was so complicated to build. 
 
These 16 really good pictures sure bring back a lot of memories. The house took about 1.5 years to build.
My dad did all of the mill work for the gay man's telescope and door frames in our garage shop on Sheridan Ave.
I remember hanging the cabinet doors shown on the picture of the really long hallway with numerous
cabinets on the left side.  Also, I put most of the hinges the kitchen cabinets.  Not bad for only being about
10 years old at the time!
 
The main floor was all concrete with forced air heat and cooling flowing through
large vents under the concrete.  The house also has one large room in the basement (the last photo) and
also the furnace / utility room.
 
--------------------
 
So now you have the bombshell news story of 2016: Frank Lloyd Wright had his houses built through the use of child labor :shock:

Pa-stay you should seriously contact the owners and ask to take your dad on a tour. I bet he would really enjoy it & unless the owners are total shriveled dicks I reckon they would oblige. Once it sells you will lose the opportunity :eek:
