CONSTRUCT2012 Technical Tour - F L W - T W

Visited a certain famous architect's desert home/studio/school. We were greeted with a card that said not to take pictures, but then on closer inspection it seemed that maybe taking pictures of the exterior was OK if for personal use. So to be on the safe side, here is just one exterior picture, and I promise I'm in no way gaining from posting it here, it is for the enjoyment of me and my spec-geeky friends who were on the tour.
The harmony with nature is truly remarkable, and amazing if the roof doesn't leak since it is sheet metal that is in some places dead flat.

I don't need any trouble from the foundation so I will not even say who this famous architect is, but we really enjoyed the tour, and it inspires me to one day convince some apprentices to study specifications under the master and charge them for the privilege while they build a winter home for me and my wife, and when they are finished they can be cast out to sleep in tents.
