I've been to a few houses that guy designed. Lovely to look at, practical not so much. One (Kentuck Knob) had a hallway so narrow I had to go through sideways. (Fortunately I'm still a bit narrower that way.) He needs to take his own advice.

I love his work...definitely one of my favorite architects. I am not surprised that some of the functionality is not there, some famed architects do shit as a signature vs a useable expression of their work. Plus WRight just didn't GAF. LOL True story:

"n 1939 in Racine, Wisconsin, Herbert "Hib" Johnson threw a housewarming party at Wingspread, his new 14,000-square-foot residence designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. As dinner was being served in the great hall — a quintessential Wnght creation with sweeping curves and a soaring skylight-ringed ceiling suspended from the central chimney like a circus tent — a thunderstorm erupted, and water began dripping steadily into the room. Johnson, CEO of the S.C. Johnson Wax Company, phoned Wnght in a rage. "I'm sitting here with some friends and distinguished guests," he fumed, "and the roof is leaking right on top of my head!"

"Well Hib " Wright replied, "why don't you move your chair?"

And the little known response to "Age before beauty" is "Beauty was a horse."

"The secret to life isn't mastering every situation, that's impossible. The secret to life is mastering how to get into the right situations and stay out of the wrong ones."

Give yourself every opportunity to succeed, basically.

They pretended, perhaps they even believed, that they had seized power unwillingly and for a limited time, and that just around the corner there lay a paradise where human beings would be free and equal. We are not like that. We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power. Now you begin to understand me.”
― George Orwell, 1984
