Hello Dave,

{Dave}
The negative corollary to the architectural aphorism:"Beauty is in the
details" is also true. In addition beautiful details can be practically ugly
enough to destroy a building. Wright's Falling Water the best American
example of this.

I went to University in northwest Arkansas some years ago.  Nearby, in
Eureka Springs, is Thorncrown Chapel.  A local guy built it based on plans
by E. Fay Jones.  Fay Jones is semi-famous in the area as a "disciple" of
Frank Lloyd Wright.  I've spent a lot of time in some of the houses he built
scattered around the mountainsides there.  They are deliciously organic;
seeming to grow out of the ground.  Intimately a part of place.  Wright may
have gone overboard, but Fay Jones corrected.
