I'm going to be near enough the farnsworth house when I go to america next week and thought that, maybe, I should take a look at it. a website told me it cost thirty bucks per person to see! I say: but, it's very small.
don't anyone mention throwing stones.
quick, someone pretend to know something.

As difficult a choice now as it was in 2002.

I think the washroom in the chimney might be the deciding factor (although I don't much care for Glass-House's non-entrance)

I go for the Farnsworth because it's a real house (as jergins says). The Glass House, much as I love it, is more of a glorified summer house - isn't there another more conventional house in the grounds that provides the heat and utilities and so forth so as not to spoil the Glass House?
Not that I refuse use of either of them.

definitely Farnsworth, if only for versatility's sake.
there's a house i read about that has some major similarities to Johnson's house in conceptual terms, but it is in New Mexico or Wyoming with gorgeous views of mountains and the landscape. it looked like a much more viscerally appealling house than Johnson's.
