All I really want to know is, what the hell did Roark's houses look like?
I mean how rebellious can you really be with architecture?

Well, from what I gathered, they were uber-modernistic. Rand's favorite architect was Frank Lloyd Wright, so I'd say... futuristic versions of his buildings.

I don't think she knew much about artistic things in general. :lol: She wrote about Richard Haley's Concerto of Deliverance, which, as he was heard playing it in his house in Galt's Gulch, appears to be a solo piano piece. A concerto is, by definition, accompanied. :lol:

I'd like to say that she left it out in a case of poor artistic judgment, but to be honest, I have no idea. :lol:

Of course, she indeed knew very little about science. Galt's Amazing Laws-of-Physics defying motor attests to that.

Oh Dagny! You excite me more than multivariable calculus and physics defying motors.

I imagine broomtime's feelings for physics are the same as Galt's
