So, a rare opportunity cropped up for a tour of some of
Ken Kellogg's fantastic work. The only one I could get to was the (luckily) the one I wanted to see the most, the
Yen House in La Jolla (also called the Poppy House or the Lotus House.)
Pictures from the tour - which supports the Institute for Organic Architecture he is constructing.
Best quote: "Architecture is a love affair with nature."
