US Modernist Radio - Architecture You Love

E. Fay Jones is a name most architects know but the public does not. A student of Frank Lloyd Wright, Jones blurred the line between indoors and outdoors with careful use of wood, stone, and glass. It’s like these buildings just emerge from the woods. Today, we’ve got three people dedicated to preserving Jones legacy. David McKee worked for Jones and is the go-to guy for restoring houses. We’ll talk with Jonathan Formanek, who created the E. Fay Jones Conservancy, along with his partner, Andy Whitmore, who live in the Faubus house in Arkansas. And back in the studio, we talk with influencer Maggie Weber, whose takes on bad design keep us laughing.
