Ah bother, I spent all evening trying to get both the house networking *and* the new wifi radio working at the same time, and missed Grand Designs.
re: Frank Lloyd Wright, it's really only his later buildings that I think are both good and striking design. The Usonian and Textile houses all stand as some of the most innovative designs of their period (and sadly are also *still* some of the most innovative designs), whereas his earlier Prairie style is quite mundane by comparison.
Speaking of related things, have you been following Dan Cruikshank's series on Modernism on (I think) BBC4? It's part of a broader season on architecture that has also included a programme on FLW.
