We visited a home known as "The Harem". It was built by Frank Llyod Wright. As I toured the inside and outside of the house, the thing that struck me most was that all of the windows were very high. There were no regular old eye-level windows. There was wonderful natural light in the house, but I walked around looking up.<br /> <br /> I asked the tour guide why this was...why were there no windows that gave us a view of the beautiful homes across the street. To be sure, the views out of the windows were beautiful, but it felt very unnatrual. She quoted Frank Llyod Wright in her response to me and I wrote down his words in my journal...<br /> <br /> "Don't look out, look up."<br /> <br /> Pictures of "the Harem" can be found here...<br /> <a href="http://www.delmars.com/flwtrip/fwthomas.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.delmars.com/flwt...</a> Your post cause me to remember an art trip I took while at Taylor.
