Nice shot of chapel interior. When I studied architecture at Cal Poly SLO, Ca, I saw a lot of Wright,s work in Ca and Chicago. Never saw this FLW inspired work by MBC before. She might have studied or worked for him at Talieson West in Az during the '50's. He was nortorious for using slave labor. But, it was concentual. People were willing to pay to study under him, and then work for him for free. He was brilliant, but he was also a bit of a con man too. A true American treasure...Frank Lloyd Wright...architect extrodinair.

I agree completely. A brilliant and tragic figure. His student, Paolo Soleri used his labor methods to build Arcosanti. Looks like Fallingwater is open for tours again. I had heard that they had to do some major structural support work on it. Love the Arizona Biltmore & of course we have the Humpheryes Theater & his last residential commission here in Dallas.

The Chapel looks beautiful.
Thanks... My photo does not do it justice. The play of light with the glass, steel and wood is amazing. You are totally immersed in it when you walk through the door.....

Thanks... How true.... If photography is the art of painting with light and shadow this place is a 'must do'.

Thanks, I'm an architectural junkie to start with and will stop to shoot almost any kind of interesting structure but this one was truly exceptional.
