"Well, there& #39;s a logic to it. If you can& #39;t build one as good as the one you& #39;re tearing down...There& #39;s plenty of chances to do modern architecture or post mortem architecture. There are plenty of parking lots of build on. There& #39;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& #39;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
