“Profiles. The Prodical Father. In
Europe and the far east, there has been for sometime passed a
disposition to refer to Frank Lloyd Wright as the Father of Modern
Architecture, and of late this salutation has been caught up and echoed
in this, his native land. In my waggish way, I might observe in passing
that this would lend credence to a dark suspicion that modern
architecture was born out of wedlock. But it is rather the business of

Commissioners of ‘33 are supposed not to be academicians... Two
arguments for Wright’s exclusion have, I believe, been advanced. One is
that he is difficult to work with, the other that his architecture does
not "conform." Whatever element of truth...

Books That Have Meant Most To
Me. I suppose the books one has chosen or has happened to read are
important. Everybody makes a more or less natural selection, I should
say, notwithstanding suggestions or commands. And the book fodder for
which we have a natural taste does most to feed the thing we call
ourselves. The Arabian Nights fascinated me as a boy. Aladdin and
his wonderful lamp – "imagination" was the lamp as I see now – was one
of the tales that never tired me...
