On the other hand, it could be argued that Wright's post-Prairie design trajectory was, in broad terms, the exact same one which has led to the technologically opaque, passivity-inducing appliance cars we have today, the very stuff many of us are kicking against.

I do not embrace car designs and technologies that are now obsolete. I reject technological paradigm disruptions imposed from a position of power for purposes which are largely contrary to my own interests. I look to past designs for clues as to what might have been, for a starting point from which to start imagining, inventing, designing.

I wonder how many here on the HAMB are likewise more about counterfactuality than nostalgia, without having had cause to think of it in those terms. The late anthropologist David Graeber said, “the ultimate, hidden truth of the world is that it is something that we make, and could just as easily make differently.” If that is so a counterfactual imagination is a perfectly sensible thing.

I wonder if the owner of the 57 was thinking along these terms in designing his fountain? Perhaps.

If I were the owner of the 57 Yard art I would be a little put off with complete strangers posting pictures of his house and addy online for all to see...........................................

It's not a residence, it's a shop. If he didn't want the attention he wouldn't have made such a display.
