This week on Burning Down the House Curtis laments the slow decline and potential disappearance of works by masters like Frank Lloyd Wright (his Ennis house of Blade Runner fame is in danger) and the various post-war "case study" houses of the 40's. He also stresses the importance of collaboration in everything from architecture to music, and instructs architects to be ignorant of the "trade" processes of building at their peril. This episode was sponsored by Tekserve: your one-stop Mac specialists.
