They run Phoebe and Her Unicorn in our local paper--it's cute! And when I found there were collections of it, I bought a couple for my niece, and I believe she liked them a lot.
Yes re: Farnsworth House. Beautiful and unlivable. It's like those architects don't want to be tied down by the constraint of having to make a place actually habitable--and like, my friends: you understand that you have to be tied down by the constraints of your materials, right? Like you don't try to use a bendy material when you need it to be stiff or vice versa, so why not wrap your head around the constraint of human-friendliness. But somehow THAT is lowering themselves. IDK. Yeah: there should be a special category of sculpture called house-sized sculpture, maybe. I mean you could make a sculpture that looked like a sink and faucet, but if water wouldn't flow properly through it, you can't really consider it a working sink and faucet, so on that criterion if fails, and same with these houses.
