The greens of Tatouine

There were some funny conversations recently in the smart and enjoyable Facebook group “I’m Architecture Shaming.”  A rather spectacular golf course clubhouse  was being applauded, but also likened to a Hutt Lord’s palace on Tatooine.  But it was designed on Earth by a well-known architect –  Frank Lloyd Wright.

They’re discussing the King Kamehameha Golf Club in Hawaii. The King Kamehameha Golf Course Clubhouse, formerly known as the Waikapu Valley Country Club, is a building in WaikapuMauiHawaii. The structure is based on the unbuilt Arthur Miller house (1957) originally conceived by American architect Frank Lloyd Wright (1867–1959).

Wright designed the house for Arthur Miller‘s wife, Marilyn Monroe (1926–1962), but Miller and Monroe divorced soon after and the project was abandoned
