He also illegally logged land on someone else's property to give himself a river view at Taliesen the First.
And removed a load bearing wall from his sister's house and didn't replace it.
He's not my favorite architect by a long way. And I find the idea of him being in charge of a mile tall building to be horrifying.
- bluGill 2y agoI much prefer Gaudi - even more outrageous, and his roofs didn't leak. He didn't have access to modern engineering, but all his buildings were well built.
- hinkley 2y ago> and his roofs didn't leak. People kissing his ass and he can’t even make a fucking roof work. This is another in a long line of things my father and I disagree about. (It was his idea to take the tour)
- AlanYx 2y agoGaudi pioneered a lot of interesting physical modelling techniques to check his designs, e.g., he was the first to use inverted space-hanging models for domes and vaults (although his predecessors had used them for arches).
