Hump Day Houses

You can't do a post on modern architecture without a Frank Lloyd Wright house. His buildings are beautiful but he was so focussed on the aesthetics that he neglected the engineering. As a result, most of his buildings leak like sieves and have other structural shortcomings. This is his Waterfall House in Mill Run, Pennsylvania.

Philip Johnson's Glass House in New Canaan, Connecticut:

When people come into my house, I say "Just shut up and look around." - Philip Johnson.

The glass house designed by Philip Johnson has been called one of the world's most beautiful and yet least functional homes. Johnson did not envision it as a place to live so much as a stage... and a statement.
