geometrical design would smootly integrate into a render. All the credit 

was more than visionnary and also embedded in a practical and esthetic 
framework. It is difficult to reproduce the classical/pre-romantic mood of 
his engravings and I shall probably not attempt to do that, but I am 
fascinated by the mind of this late 18th century man who dreamt of such 
atypical and yet familiar (to us) structures. I think that he would have 
been very pleased to meet Frank Lloyd Wright in particular. There are very 
similar elements in their designs, not in the last place in their concept of 

what he called "buried architecture". Wright would have known exactly what 
he meant.
