I find it interesting to see people 'using' spaces in such a building. What I mean by that is it's still a functioning place, not just a museum piece. Another example, which I didn't get a picture of unfortunately, is the kitchen area for the staff (it's off-limits to the public). It has modern kitchen equipment fitted inside, but it's still within the space designed by Wright; not in a separate construction. Not on display, not especially tidied-up or enhanced for public viewing, but it exists nonetheless, and performs it's function. That's it from this building for now, I hope to return to get better shots at some point!

It looks like Frank Lloyd Wright even took into consideration how the light would light up the room. You both did a good job!

@Craiger: Cheers Craiger!
I too love the way older buildings continue to be used - will show you some soon from the Arts Centre, which was the university, is now the Arts Centre and was built in the 1890's. Lovely capture, the light is great!

It was a nice idea to show how the space is used in the project, Architects imagine many things will happen and try to play many rolls as possible when designing a project but you never know what will happen with the passage of time, something things go on as expected, sometimes the unexpected occurs.

@Alfredo J. Martiz J.: Yes Alfredo - I would imagine there must be opposing desires for an architect - "I want to see my work be used and be useful", versus "Don't mess around with what I've done! It's beautiful!"
Ha! Looks like she's waiting for the calculator to do something unexpected. Wonderful moment in time shot D!
