He was a creative genius, but a lousy engineer. He often sacrificed durability for style and flair. His roofs leaked, the Falling Water house was structually unsound and it is a tragedy it was not built to last longer. He was also very short, and often built with low ceilings and low doorways, giving his structures a cramped feeling.
Nonetheless, the way he integrated nature into his designs was truly inspirational.
A closer way to see his work is to go to Talisman West (sp?), just east of Scottsdale, where he spent his last decades designing and working (with unpaid volunteers). Great museum with tours.ParticipantSome trivia about Frank Lloyd Wright:

And their share would vary directly with the uselessness of their major.
My daughter, now 30, majored in english and is an expert on mid-ninetenth century horror fiction. Despite being a whiz at math, computers, and science, never did she heed my plea to take at least one course in economics or accounting.
After graduating from a great (and expensive) school, she bounced around for years trying unsuccessfully to break into radio (NPR) producing. Now, finally, she’s working on a Master’s Degree in Accountancy on her way to a CPA, and thriving at it.
Parents need to weigh in on their kids’ decisions more than I did and lay down some rules as to the major they pick, how much they pay, and the grades they expect.ParticipantWe put two kids through college solely on our own savings and investments.

And plywood prices should go up when a hurricane threatens, and food prices should go up after a drought, and tech goods prices should fall after every advance, and….etc.
That is just free markets working. Higher prices signal producers to bring more to market, eventually dampening the rise. They also ration a newly scarce item when consumers voluntarily decide whether to buy or not. -
