New Frank Lloyd Wright

I have admired this design for a long time.. super strong horizontals, reminds me of Unity Temple a little...the renderings were looking up from the bottom of a cliff...very japaneese...this design was never excuted ...until 2 years ago when some local Buffalo people paid for the "Wright" to build it.


Nicely executed...door finishes are failing already.


I still can't figure out how he can get the steel to cantilever that far and hold the concrete
panels...dead load way above 50lbs/sf...?

the rochester skyline icon is nicely lit up at night. I did some work on the collaborative learning center her a couple years ago...an amusing experience...given that the building housing the rare book collections is in the upper floors of the tower....it will be a roman candle if the thing ever goes up...lots of fun discussions with the fire marshal about sprinklers and rare book colletions.
