"Well, there's a logic to it. If you can't build one as good as the one you're tearing down...There's plenty of chances to do modern architecture or post mortem architecture. There are plenty of parking lots of build on. There's no use to tearing down our heritage." - Harry Weese

"We were anti-Frank Lloyd Wright, he came out of the last century & was pretty preposterous. In 1940 Gordon Bunshaft & I went to Taliesin where I knew some of his slaves-apprentices he didn't pay-GB was going to tell him he was full of b.s. & a 19th century relic but GB quailed."

In relation to that last quote, I’d like to think in this photo Harry & Mies are talking shit about Frank Lloyd Wright. #WeeseWednesday
