Okay, now take a look at this: http://www.xtranormal.com/watch/7429337/
I just received this…
Dear Friends:
This is a project that will demolish one of of Lloyd Wright’s most distinct homes and replace it with a repulsive example of TacoBellitecture. The existing home is of course one of the best homes ever built in Southern California. The proposed replacement a elephantine eyesore.
Please take the time to write or call this RPV official and comment that the project alternative does not consider the retention of rare exquisite,valuable historic, cultural and architectural resources, along with perhaps not failing to mention the obvious that the property owner is a Butt Head for even thinking of such a thing…….

I am starting a new kind of architecture school. Unlike most architecture schools, you wouldn't have to submit GRE scores or good grades or letters of recommendation. You wouldn't have to put the rest of your life on hold for 3 to 5 years. You wouldn't have to accrue tens of thousands of dollars in debt. At my architecture school, anyone could come for a few weeks and learn how to build a house with their own two hands. My teachers would take skills and concepts from some of these other workshops I've listed above... except classes would be held year-round to make it easy to fit into your schedule. I would have a number of different campuses around the country that would teach building designs appropriate to the local climate. And I need your help. Can you donate land for a campus? Can you dotate books for a library? Can you teach a workshop? Can you provide start-up capital? Let me know.
