I Love Architecture

Beautiful Perspectives

By: destry

Written on October 26th, 2008

My favorites are Frank Lloyd Wright and Frank Gehry.

“The longer I live the more beautiful life becomes. If you foolishly ignore beauty, you will soon find yourself without it. Your life will be impoverished. But if you invest in beauty, it will remain with you all the days of your life.” (Frank Lloyd Wright)

"Architecture is a small piece of this human equation, but for those of us who practice it, we believe in its potential to make a difference, to enlighten and to enrich the human experience, to penetrate the barriers of misunderstanding and provide a beautiful context for life's drama". (Frank Gehry)

Frank Lloyd Wright has always fascinated me...I've been close to a couple of the houses he built, but never seen any...always "not enough time". I wish I'd made time...

No, not in person, anyway. I think it looks like a big melted candle... lol!

It would rock to see it in RL.

My favourites are Antonio Gaudi and Frank Lloyd Wright. And whoever designed and built those impossibly complex and soaring cathedrals all across Europe - without power tools!

yes, I will agree with that. Character definitely counts for a lot in the appeal.

me too...I am an architecture junkie!LOL

I even admire a good design in present day housing while on my walks.

But definitely history plays a big part in my interest.

It's ok, it happens to me sometimes too.

I wanted to be an architect after seeing Falling Water. I wish I would have pursued it...

Wright and Gehry are my favorites as well.

I live in Los Angeles so I have access to the

Walt Disney Concert Hall. I've been there twice

so far. Once to see Sarah Chang, and another

time to see Andre Watts. Not only is it a wonderful

work of art but the acoustics are very good.

As far as I'm concerned it's a dream come true.
