@GabrielDuquette @St_Rev Old things with a close human-thing interface solved design problems by evolution, innovation introduces misfit.
@Meaningness @sarahdoingthing @GabrielDuquette God, Frank Lloyd Wright, speaking of actively hostile architecture.

@St_Rev@sarahdoingthing@GabrielDuquette Mixed feelings about Wright. Think Wolfe is right that Bauhaus/Brutalism is the main villain -
@Meaningness@sarahdoingthing@GabrielDuquette Wright's designs were unliveable if you were taller than Wright. And his roofs leaked. -
@St_Rev@sarahdoingthing@GabrielDuquette Didn’t know that about the ceiling height. Seem to recall he blamed leaks on builders, not design. -
@Meaningness@St_Rev@GabrielDuquette novel building envelope is a major risk factor though, just from its being novel -
@sarahdoingthing@St_Rev@GabrielDuquette Yes... but leaking roofs can be fixed easily enough. Unusably-shaped spaces are much harder. -
@Meaningness@sarahdoingthing@GabrielDuquette That represents Wright as rascally, I read it as narcissistic and vicious. -
@St_Rev@sarahdoingthing@GabrielDuquette That seems right. -
@Meaningness@sarahdoingthing@GabrielDuquette Also I am 6'4" which may affect my objectivity.
