You may have noticed that the Guggenheim Museum has been shrouded in mesh netting lately, and it makes sense the museum would be undergoing some facade/maintenance work. The NY Times, though, has this amazing graphic showing the cracks in the museum's walls. The Guggenheim explains the restoration online (and with podcast- MP3) and also has an exhibit about "Restoring a Masterpiece."
Don't worry, though - the Times reports the structure is "structurally sound." And here's a panorama Jake stitched together from last year's Zaha Hadid show.





Cracks in the Guggenheim, Fallingwater is, literally, falling down, a friend buys his dream house, a Wright Usonian, and finds the kitcken absolutely unworkable. Such feet of clay!

Guggenheim NY, big deal, tear it down and build condos. FLW never did understand the true meaning of architecture. Hmm? It seems that FG doesn't either.
Both have/ had a thought process that went beyond the materials they worked with. IDIOTS! Most architects don't know a screw gun from a screw.
