e used to say, “Think of it as a pavillion in a park.” Well, of course, it’s not in the park. It’s on the street. And the reason it looks wonderful on the street is because the other buildings obey the law of the street and set it off. Imagine if the other buildings were gone and you had more Guggenheims. You’d have the strip.—Vincent Scully, Architectural Historian

Mr. Wright kept trying to point out, “I’m trying to make a building where seeing works of art would be so natural...” —Bruce Pfeiffer, Former FLW apprentice
