He also illegally logged land on someone else's property to give himself a river view at Taliesen the First.

And removed a load bearing wall from his sister's house and didn't replace it.

He's not my favorite architect by a long way. And I find the idea of him being in charge of a mile tall building to be horrifying.

I much prefer Gaudi - even more outrageous, and his roofs didn't leak. He didn't have access to modern engineering, but all his buildings were well built.

Gaudi pioneered a lot of interesting physical modelling techniques to check his designs, e.g., he was the first to use inverted space-hanging models for domes and vaults (although his predecessors had used them for arches).

People kissing his ass and he can’t even make a fucking roof work.

This is another in a long line of things my father and I disagree about. (It was his idea to take the tour)
