Frank Lloyd Wright

Tip the world over on its side and everything loose will land in Los Angeles I love that quote.

It is what famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright once said about the City of Angels.

Apparently, Rupert Murdoch and News Corp took that as a cue.

Because earlier this year, Rupert Murdoch moved west.

more intimate type of space, which feels kind of cool.

Yeah, I'm trying to think what Frank Lloyd Wright called it.

Compression, I guess.

Yeah.

I'll explain it to Terry that way.

I'm sure he'll

You'd be like, okay, so Frank Lloyd Wright gave me this great idea.

And you'd be like, who? Not one care

Because I think that, at least when I went through education and where I did that, it was like, you design it, you show it to a client, and then they basically sign off.

So it's more of a kind of Frank Lloyd Wright.

I don't know if you know the story.

We went to one of the Frank Lloyd Wright houses and the bed was extremely short.

And then when the clients complained, Frank Lloyd Wright basically told them, you can just sleep diagonally because that's the best proportion for the room.

So I think that's the type of mentality that we were trained with.

I'm an architect, I'm the prime consultant, I'm carrying all the decisions and then everyone else just sits down and agrees with everything we say.

which then once you graduate the reality, a lot of people getting crashed because they understand that, first of all, the reality changed a lot since Frank Lloyd Wright.

And some of these individuals, great contributors, terrible personal lives.

I mean, if you read about Einstein's history or Thomas Edison's history or Frank Lloyd Wright's history, their personal lives were pretty toxic.

And same thing is true in the world of spirit-based or soul-based teachings, you know.

There was a period of time in the 1960s, 70s where there were a lot of teachers coming, a lot of spirit-based mystic yogic teachers coming from India into America.

The coolest thing we did, and I would recommend this to anyone who's in this part of the world, it's worth a drive.

If you haven't been there, we went to Frank Lloyd Wright's estate.

just outside of Madison in Greenspring,

I think is

And oh my gosh, is that incredible.

It's incredible.

Frank Lloyd Wright's estate, and it's called Taliesin.

We did the four-hour tour, and I'm telling you, He was a difficult guy, total genius, which quite often those go hand in hand.

It had a small art museum, so the arts were appreciated in the town.

It also had a whole section of the community that were prairie school students for Frank Lloyd Wright.

It had really good architecture, and the city was very proud of it.

The other thing that happened in the last few years, they resurrected the last Frank Lloyd Wright Hotel in the downtown.

And so it has a central park in this hotel that's a functional hotel.

And I also had family members who were artists.

And he ended up going to Hong Kong and doing his schooling there.

Somehow he got this fellowship to America to study with Frank Lloyd Wright.

And he couldn't get his visa out of China that year.

That was 19, I think, I want to say 46 or 47.

And then the next year he gets his visa, he was on his way up to Taliesin to study with Frank Lloyd Wright.

That's amazing that he had that opportunity.

But he stops in Chicago.
