Plot

"Unlike his houses, which individually achieved the sought-for repose, many of his larger projects were defiantly vigorous and assertive, reflecting his own absolute inability to endure confinement of any sort, as one observer put it. ....The ultimate irony is that by extolling human variety so energetically, he might have created a surfeit of sensory experience, a different kind od dehumanization. Indeed, the suspicion lingers that only Frank Lloyd Wright himself could have lived comfortably in a landscape of his own design."
