While pretty, it doesn't (like so many of these fancy places) look like a house I'd actually want to live in). However, it really does emphasize that I should write a calculus textbook.

To me it's akin to the FLW aesthetic of exposed joints and such. Sure concrete may not be as "beautiful" in the traditional sense as the woods that FLW would use, but still it's about the structure, the form of the structure, and the materials themselves becoming the aesthetic interest, and not structurally superfluous adornments.

And concrete, if properly sealed, is very maintenance free.

But Ferris' house (which I drive by almost daily) is not for sale. (It is the first one, Keith.)

As somebody who paid a lot of money to be specifically trained on the value and methods of organizing information for best access, many of those pictures actually give me mild cases of the willies (such as shelving books based on color cover).
