Venturi's Lieb (No. 9) House to be moved (or demolished)
2009.01.29 10:21
It was a windy day in May, 1977, just after the end of 2nd year. The five of us, Ellen, Sue, Ron, Tony and myself, drove down in my 2nd hand VW bug/sedan--like college kids packed in a phonebooth. We reenacted the classic shot of sitting on the steps even, and then went on to look the Frank Israel houses also on the island. Scully's "historian's revenge" you know.
Gordon would love to now cut up one of his inspirations, and Kahn's thinking "the further wayward adventures of the Fisher House hippie child".
