| A LITTLE BLACK In honor of Black History Month i offer a list of 10 African American Architects whose work has shaped America. The Architect at the end of the article, Roberta Washington, is a friend of a friend; and i have had the honor of meeting her! P.S. The article(s) also links to the current issue of Architzer. If you scroll, let me know if you find anything else interesting! https://architizer.com/blog/inspiration/stories/black-architects/ https://architizer.com/blog/inspiration/industry/black-architects-making-history/  A LITTLE WHITE I heard recently (thanks to a U-Tube rabbit hole) that Frank Lloyd Wright, the ONLY Architect EVERYONE has heard of; designed over a thousand buildings and constructed almost half of them! His personal home was located in Spring Green, Wisconsin and was called “Taliesin”; the Welsh word for “shining brow”. Most books and articles about the house contain the usual, well worn, photos of the exterior. However, the attached U-Tube video(s) gives an unprecedented tour of the interior; with some spaces that have never been shown before. It is a little long, but grab a snack, settle into your comfy chair, a spend a moment on the Shining Brow. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xf1fKwimp7s&t=1719s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcte0oaee50 https://www.taliesinpreservation.org/ Photograph courtesy of Taliesin Preservation  A LITTLE SNOW I am not a fan of winter. I think the only advantage winter has over summer … is additional pockets. But occasionally … it does photograph well!  |
