  1. After enlightenment my thoughts were no more. No longer did I hear that voice of condescendence, of judgement. And that was the greatest relief of all. You are enlightened. You are integrated and complete. You are just having fun remembering this. And there are so many ways to have fun!

  2. 7:00 One of those 6 standing behind Wright is the real designer.

  3. Wright was old school. Used the studio system like artists of the past. So it was probably designed by one of his students. He had many students, which is why his 'style' kept changing.

  4. If by “breaking the rules” you mean have the city sign off and pay for it?

    Jeez I wish my county would let me build a modern monstrosity like that but… I’d just get denied.

  5. Shortly after the Guggenheim was built,the collapsible cup was invented.😁

  6. OK, so where's the rest of the story?

  7. T I thought Constanza built that.
