2 The Nearness of Interior Experience and the Distance of Exterior Form
1 During the 1990s, when I was Director of the School of Architecture at the University of Florida, at the beginning of the school year the 300 new freshman architecture and design students were asked to name their favourite architect, with some 98 per cent typically responding âFrank Lloyd Wrightâ, and then they were asked if they had ever visited a building designed by that architect, to which only 1 per cent responded in the affirmative â they âknewâ Wrightâs work only through photographs of it.
