Frank Lloyd Wright

I like Frank Lloyd Wright architecture http://www.franklloydwright.org/.  I did not know who it was who created the house in A Summer Place http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0053320/?ref_=tttr_tr_tt but I knew I liked the house.  It is at Carmel by the Sea and is the Clinton Walker House http://gocalifornia.about.com/od/topcalifornia/ig/Frank-Lloyd-Wright-California/Clinton-Walker-House.htm. 

Many years ago, I was in California, and we visited a Frank Lloyd Wright house, but I do not recall the name of it. I remember it being set back amongst the trees, and it was in need of work.  It seemed damp and moldy.  But the architecture was wonderful.

I have heard of Fallingwater http://www.fallingwater.org/20/slug and maybe, someday, I can visit that house.

There is the Sterling Kinney House in Amarillo, Texas http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Frank_Lloyd_Wright_works_by_location#Texas.  I have never heard of it, and apparently, it is not open for tours.

Well, the reason for all of this discussion of Frank Lloyd Wright architecture is that there is an exhibit of Samara http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samara_(house), a Frank Lloyd Wright house, at the Texas Tech Museum (April 27 - July 7 Frank Lloyd Wright's "Samara, A Mid-Century Dream Home." This exhibition tells the story of how a young couple from Indiana and a world famous architect worked together to build the Christian Family dream home, and how they continued to honor the architect's vision long after his death. The exhibition contains 117 works including furnishings, photographs, drawings, family memorabilia, videos, and interactives.) You might wonder what there is to see about a house, but I spent 2.5 hours viewing this exhibit, which includes some videos and displays.

It was a very interesting display.  The genius of Frank Lloyd Wright is beyond amazing!
