Frank Lloyd Wright designed awesome buildings, but his “usonian” urban planning ideas (i.e. Broadacre City) were fucking catastrophic.
I haven’t been able to find the reference again, but I read something that said he actually worked for the FHA and wrote some of their design guidelines – in other words, that he was directly responsible for the proliferation of suburban sprawl.
In truth, I’m just a Frank Lloyd Wright fanboy.
I miss a sub I followed on reddit, Frank Lloyd Wrong
