Frank Lloyd Wright

If you didn't know, this is going to be your favorite TIL from this episode if you didn't know this.

With modern architecture that was inspired by the Real House Falling Water designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, what iconic setting had a full-scale replica built in 2026 on a ridgeline in the pinnacle enclave of the Promontory Club near Park City, Utah?

van damme's house i mean it's but it doesn't have a name it's it's a house that was designed to look like falling water but it's not a real house actually it was just a draw a matte drawing so i'm not sure and the house itself was located just on the back of mount rushmore for what

it's worth you've over explained what i need for a correct answer if that helps

The studio itself is Usonian in style.

It's designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.

We brought him back for this.

and as we enter the room, we see no gear whatsoever, but we do see floor-to-ceiling windows, and the walls are wood-panelled.

Even though there's not a word spoken, As you're observing that painting in the museum, even though there's not a word spoken necessarily, it's a harmony of colors that presents a music of the artistry, of the gift that that person has.

It's kind of like Frank Lloyd Wright.

How do you know who he is, Frank Lloyd Wright? You know, he was a famous architect, right? Some of his buildings are in other places, you know, and they're very beautiful and they're very ornate.

And you think about every curve and every line, every shadow that might have been created by the way that structure was put together, the way it was planned.

All those things are sort of kind of like a music, if you will.

And so when you look at the colors of a forest in its autumn attire, those colors blend and complement each other.

And so it becomes, if you will, it becomes a melody.

Just like Frank Lloyd Wright, that's music that's set in stone.

The economic development activist Joe Jackson, for sure.

Frank Lloyd Wright for how he affected city politics and downtown development.

Ruth Doyle as the first woman from Dane County in the State Assembly and the first woman president of the Madison Board of Education.

The school administration building is named after her.

So the longest-running saga in Madison history was the effort to build a municipal auditorium.

It was even an issue in your first book.

Frank Lloyd Wright enters the chat in the first chapter of volume two.

He proposes a municipal auditorium and civic center at the end of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard.

That question has led me to three remarkable architectural voices.

Addison Meisner, Frank Lloyd Wright, and Green and Green.

At first glance, they seem very different.

Green and Green elevated craftsmanship to an extraordinary level, creating arts and crafts homes where every detail mattered.

Frank Lloyd Wright took many of those same influences and evolved them into something revolutionary, creating architecture that blurred the lines between building and landscape.

Addison Meisner followed a different path, creating homes deeply rooted in climate, history, culture, and place, forever shaping the architectural identity of South Florida.

Different approaches, different philosophies, different expressions.

Questions about how a home can still feel fresh and relevant more than a century later.

Yep.

Have you guys ever been to Scottsdale, Arizona? Everyone knows who Frank Lloyd Wright is.

He lived 1867 to 1959.

He is a very, very famous designer of homes.

And in Scottsdale, Arizona, there's a thing called Taliesin West.

I don't know, T-A-L-I-E-S-I-N West, which is one of Frank Lloyd Wright's original homes.

And he built it in 1937, and it is a landmark now, and it has like a little gift shop, but that's one of his original homes, and tourists come to see it.

And this individual out of Brazil, he was like a pastor from Brazil, was just walking as normal, and a big windstorm came up and grabbed part of the roof.

But yeah, I mean, Pennsylvania is actually a really interesting and super cool state.

I mean, we were just talking about Frank Lloyd Wright, you know, on the last episode and you can go skiing, you can do all these different things, you know, um, But there's things like you were talking about, the Big Mac.

Okay, who would have thought? I did not know that.

Nellie Bly, who's one of my favorite people on the planet.

So I was in college.

When I was in college, I was taking an architecture class and the professor was talking about Frank Lloyd Wright and Louis Sullivan, some architects who turned architecture on its head by asking the question, what should buildings look like in the place where we're building them? And that struck me as an incredibly worthy question to ask.

And so I still ask myself that all the time.

When I'm walking around through the field, I'm like, what should the food look When a guest comes to the farm, what should the food look like? What are they
