As another summer ends, returning back to urban life is daunting; but, with chaos comes inspiration. I'm starting a series of lectures around my new book and the city's influence on Frank Lloyd Wright. Pick up a copy here: bit.ly/flw2122 #booklovers

Admit you're old... Retweet if you know what this is...

@stevemouzon Total control of land ownership.

A French farming village surrounded by farmland, with nobody more than a couple blocks from long views into the countryside. An allee of trees welcoming you to town, the nearby expressway skirting by, leaving the village unmolested. What needs to change to do this in the US?

Architect Frank Lloyd Wright decried New York as a carcass, parasite and "incongruous mantrap of monstrous dimensions." Yet the city offered him refuge as his personal life was in shambles. Here, a look at the important role the city played in his legacy. cbc.ca/1.5993213
