BAC has one required second semester class where the lecturer tries to
include a FLW example each week and makes fair comments re: FLW's
innovations and incompetencies.

Fair enough... Good with the bad. The problem with my school was FLW
was unspeakable, for good or ill, and those who were speakable, were so
due to their perceived perfection.

A little "fair and balanced" would have helped.

But, then again, I'm not sure I really cared. I'd learned how to learn
and learned what was important to learn, not what they wanted me to learn...

When I was a Junior in college the Columbiana tried to make me love Corbu's
Villa Savoye. And I must confess, one could do worse in buildings to be
forced to love.

At Rice as a grad student, there was the afore mentioned Moneo building.

There was Gunnar Birkerts Contemporary Arts Museum in Houston.

Kahn's Phillips Exeter Library was in there.

I'm sure there were others. I just can't remember them. Probably a
blessing.

I guess we're gettin' old. Stern was the anti-Christ. Doesn't that seem
funny 20 years later?

Stern? Who's he? His name was one that would get you kicked out of
school. They didn't even want you thinking he existed... we weren't
even allowed to criticize his work---because he wasn't supposed to exist.
