I have been there. What a beautiful place. I used to know a doctor who bought one of their personal houses. He had it completely taken apart, put in new electrical, plumbing and insulation and then had them put it back just as it was when taken apart. It was an unreally beautiful house. You could not tell it had been taken apart.
There was a smaller Greene & Greene house in Pasadena, NE of Lake & Colorado Blvd. HQ of The Planetary Society for a few years. There were a few smaller houses in the back that were rented as offices.
I reckon, combined, there's more than a million years' worth of dendrochronological tree rings visible in the wood in the interior of that house.... I can't imagine wanting to paint it all white! You make a great point that this house was what they thought was 'futuristic' at the time... somehow it does evoke that sort of pre-science fiction era when Relativity and electromagnetism were just being discovered.
Ooooh that question can take a long time to answer! If you are in high school you can take more math, science and art courses, and some schools offer general art & architecture history courses. If you are in college, you can do the same. To become an architect in the United States, you eventually need to go to an architecture school for 5 or 6 years to get a Bachelor of Architecture or a Master of Architecture - both are considered professional degrees. There's more to it than that, but that these are the first steps. You can certainly learn as much as you can from videos (like this channel) and I would suggest starting a sketchbook to draw the things you see in the real world that interest you.

Architecture that good deserves that kind of love.

Great pieces, I am sure. So much of good architecture is not famous and deserves to be preserved. Thanks for watching and commenting!

well dwsigned
Thank god the white paint never happened.
YES!!!!!!
what they were even thinking, can you imagine entering a house this beautiful and say "yes, I think it would look better covering this wood in white"?
Seriously hilarious.
Thanks. I strive to be effortlessly oxymoronic.
