About this Quote
This quote by Frank Lloyd Wright talks to the value of experience in architecture. He recommends that architects must go as far away from house as possible when building their first buildings, as mistakes made by a physician can be buried, but mistakes made by an architect can not. Wright is stressing the significance of learning from experience, and the need to acquire understanding and understanding of the craft before attempting to build. He is recommending that designers need to go out and gain experience in various locations, and gain from the mistakes of others, prior to attempting to build their own structures. By doing this, they can get the knowledge and understanding essential to develop successful structures. Wright's quote is a reminder of the value of experience in architecture, and the requirement to get understanding and understanding of the craft before trying to develop.
