alt Hacker NewsI need to visit it in person I guess. The photos always leave me feeling like I am looking at a very small conference center and the feel of it seems off to me for a house. I dont quite get the appeal of a lot of his work. It sometimes feel everyone has decided its incredible and it persists on its fame over substance (not uncommon with art, eg. The Mona Lisa was just a small painting on a wall with a lot of arguably better paintings for a long time before we all decided to obsess over it)
I can see that. In photos it feels like a very small corporate retreat. And there are definitely design decisions we've evolved from. But when you are inside, it feels warm, open, airy. And so many things are so well thought out to make them invisible when they should be, and draw attention. I would have enjoyed living in, or vacationing there.
