The Dome in the Desert by Wendell Burnette via Archdaily

“A glass house in the desert? Was it an architectural caprice, a folly, or was it a solution to the problems of desert living whose appropriateness is still not recognized? Having had the experience of living in The Dome for a full year, through all the seasons, I felt it incumbent upon myself to take a fresh look at this remarkable work of architecture.”

oh, per usual i couldn’t take pictures of the sides or the back, as they’re hidden by trees, and as much as i like taking pictures of people’s houses i don’t really want to become a creepy house stalker and end up in jail for taking pictures of the sides of people’s houses.

i can imagine the prison conversation:
‘hey what are you guys in for?’
guy 1 - ‘i was smuggling ar-15’s from turkmenistan to newark’.
guy 2 - ‘i blew up a bank in arkansas.’
guy 3 - ‘i ran 10 crystal meth labs in dominica’.
me - ‘i was taking pictures of mid century architecture in l.a’.

so, i’ll stick to the street and not go to jail for being a creepy architecture stalker.
thanks
