Mmmm...this was just too tasty to not post. I love mid-century modernist architecture, and Frank Lloyd Wright's "Prairie style' had a profound impact on the work of later architectural masters such as Eero Saarinen, Arne Jacobsen, Alvar Aalto, Rudolf Schindler, Richard Neutra, Charles and Ray Eames, George Nelson, Hans Wegner, and Craig Ellwood (or is that James Tyler, his draftsman...).

My next house will be a modernist house...if I have to build the house out of cardboard! Or maybe I'll just get furniture built out of cardboard...

From this post on Boing Boing:

Here's a YouTube walk-through of an incredibly detailed model of Frank Lloyd Wright's legendary Kaufmann/Falling Water house built in Half Life 2. Kasperg, the creator, is a gamer with an interest in using game engines for architectural visualization, and has published his Half Life 2 maps for you to play with.

Apropos of this, Alice notes "I've had the security permissions to map the BBC's Television Centre for a while, but I haven't ever found anyone local to do it. If you're near London and a dab hand with the HL2 engine, plus you fancy mapping out the Blue Peter garden and other such luminous landmarks, drop me a line..."
