Food fer Thought

Uber-Catholic E. Michael Jones, in his book Living Machines: Bauhaus Architecture as Sexual Ideology (Ignatius Press, 1995), argues that Bauhaus architecture was influenced by sexual immorality. According to Ken Burns's documentary on F. Lloyd Wright, people have felt menaced or oppressed within some Wright buildings - one woman almost went crazy - and the organized serial-killing clique in the horror/suspense novel The Straw Men live in a gated community of Wright-inspired houses that reflect their hunter-gatherer ethos. They are of the earth, not in it, to paraphrase the Wright quote at the opening of the novel. From their houses, they can observe without being observed. Of course, Wright was an egotistical, selfish man when it came to relationships. Did the darkness in his psyche come out in his buildings? Is architecture a reflection/extension of self?
