Xanadu architecture. This is the epitome of a comprehensive aesthetic environment. I look at this and marvel that I've only discovered this so late. Having seen this video, I am determined to get to the school on a Visiting Artist Fellowship. The statue of Diogenes by George Edwin Bissell was the determining element that brought my artistic enthusiasm alive once again. It was so perfectly incorporated into the architectural context.
You bet....and worth every cent/dollar! Educators in Architecture too badly trained to appreciate the pleasure and beauty of all this. As an Architect I can attest: it's not hard to do. All you gotta do is want to do it. Details on request.
You know I am very critical of the Cr. Academy and other work at the Academy. I am an old Architect (300 projects) but.............1) Thanks to Kevin Adkisson for an A-1 Tour! 2) I am overwhelmed by the design of Eliel Saarinen (ES). As a critic I have not one negative remark to make about the Prep School. Every architecture school in the USA (and the world) ought to bring its students here for at least a month a year. I do not mean that they should only copy the details but that shouild absorb the design process, the sense of delight, of ceremony (this Latin word connotes the Hebrew blessing for bread/sustenence) and the amount of work required to make every building a pleasure, a delight, a work of art. Sadly, I think ES lost this in his subsequent work at the grown-ups school. Why? I can't figure it out. Maybe the influence of the "Modernist" Movement...who knows. It's just not there nor in the work of his son.----------------I was in Detroit for a solely commercial reason but due to a flight schedule Malcolm, my engineer, and I had the chance to visit here. I was thunderstruck. It changed my life. If Wright ever visited here he would have blushed with jealousy. This work equals the details and ideas of Sullivan and the Green Brothers and Maybeck.
In the world! Now "lost" because we have architects who do not know what they are doing. Self-expressionists ....."Look at me!" Faux drama over thought.

Yes, but as an Architect I can tell you that one can incorporate this ideal in projects many times more modest. The Architect has to want to. I did it. Sometimes with success...but always try. I lost a long-time major client because I made many of his buildings too humane, too visually beautiful, too easy to live in. (Even tho my structural systems saved him hundreds of thousands.) (Regrets?.....Hmmmm. No, the hack architects who replaced me for Roland's work should have regrets. Not me. Not me.)
