When the proof is in the pudding:

"A doctor can bury his mistakes, but an architect can only advise his clients to plant vines." (Frank Lloyd Wright)

It's funny because Frank Lloyd Wright's buildings almost all have leaky roofs but he kept building them to the point that flat roofs with odd joins are an inseparable part of his aesthetic.
You're probably thinking of Fallingwater, but most of FLW's buildings have conventional (sloped) roofs. Gehry and Calatrava on the other hand are known for leaky roofs (and walls, and windows, etc).
