When I see the Stata or similarly "iconic" buildings, all I can focus on is how difficult they will be to maintain. When the sealant around the windows or exterior siding panels needs to be repaired, how does the contractor erect any staging? The building surrounded by the reflecting pool: how do you keep the algae down?

When form doesn't follow function, you get art that needs constant attention. Falling Water is spectacular as art, but as a home, a failure because it needed millions for repairs, while my 200 year house, designed and built by some nameless farmer, still works fine.
