At the time, he felt "USA" would be confused with "Union of South Africa." Go figure.<br /><br />I wish I could express the bizarre feeling I get when I visit a Wright house. It's like climbing into a painting, or somehow being physically inside a Chopin nocturne. I get very excited by the "Wright-ness" of the space. <br /><br />Most people are very suspect of "modern" architecture, I think. I think most people would look at a Wright house and say, as my mother would put it, that "it was very nice, but not for people like us." Why not?Rogernoreply@blogger.com
