Way Cool!

While I had obviously heard of a carport before, not being someone with much interest in architecture meant I was not really familiar with some of Wright’s other contributions.  Though I did not doubt their significance given his brilliance, when while showing my mom some elements of my final project, I was surprised she said to me “Radiant floors? He designed those?” Somewhat puzzled as to why radiant floors of all things would pique my mother’s interest I responded “yeah, he put them in all of the Usonian homes since they were only one level.” She continued to look at my graphs and charts before casually adding “you know your grandparent’s have a radiant floor system in their house, right?” Ha! I did not, actually. I did not expect to have any sort of personal connection with Frank Lloyd Wright or his designs, regardless of how influential or prevalent to modern day.  This was a very cool realization.
