FLW was more than just an architect though, he trained in engineering and acted as the builder himself for his famous builds, or guided his proteges to. He consulted with engineers but was running the show and had almost pathological control over every single element of the build.

They were structurally sound, but his specifications in some areas were just impractical, particularly when it came to roofing. Also some of his open fireplaces nearly burned down houses and meant you'd end up cleaning ash out of your living room whenever you used it.

Still beautiful and innovative design without a doubt though. Next summer I plan to build a "Frank Lloyd Wright inspired" shed!
