  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8EABJrMplY&amp;t=960">16:00</a> &quot;An idea conceived early in my work was that the box [in architecture] was a fascist symbol, and the architecture of freedom and democracy needed something besides the box. So, I started out to destroy the box as a building. The corner window came in... [to ensure] the destruction of the box. The light came in where it had never come before.... You had screens instead of walls. The walls vanished as walls, and the box vanished as a box. The corner window went around the world, but the idea of the thing never followed it. It became merely a window rather than the release of an entire sense of structure.&quot;

  Watching this reminds me just how important it is to hear or read the actual thoughts and comments from the actual source instead of relying on the interpretations of writers and reporters who frequently have a bias or at best simply an inability to accurately transmit those thoughts and comments. Wright was a remarkable person! &nbsp;Thanks for sharing.

  Wright lectured at Cornell when I was a freshman, a year before this film; we architecture students were privledged to meet him at a reception afterwards; it was a life changing moment; his was a powerfull, magnetic presence that was clearly evident in his work that i&apos;ve visited; he was the Beethoven of architecture — a giant that comes along every thousand years or so.. &nbsp; Great interview i&apos;ve never seen because we did not get a TV set until years later.

  He is a gem: the wisdom of Socrates, the practicality of Archimedes, the aesthetics and ideology of America and the humor of Twain. Unmatched in his field.
