He was at the level of Frank Lloyd Wright, another legend.
Indiana just had a funeral for our Senator that was an Oxford Graduate back in the 60s, Richard Lugar.

@Pfuzylogic Lugar produced some interesting stuff too. Such a shame to lose creative folk.

@Pfuzylogic Oh yeah, Frank Lloyd Wright was one of my favorite architects too...🙌

@Vivaci Wright integrated homes into the surrounding nature. Pie had an incredible vision of geometry and abstract design that never existed for corporate style buildings. They both gave us beauty.

@Picklebobble2 Lugar was once know as Nixon’s favorite Mayor during the late 60s-early 70s. He was a forerunner of diplomacy when the US practiced that before war mongering.

@Pfuzylogic Yeah, I think Chicago owes it's beautiful prairie houses to this great man.
