Here is a link to more of Javier's work - http://www.arquitecturaorganica.com/inicio_i.html - Javier Sensasiain - BioArchitecture Some interesting ideas here! Could be very Puna-centric!
FLW was just a novelty mostly IMHO - I have a couple of books on his design, and have seen many of his houses - because when I was young and impressionable, I thought he was "it". He and Mies Van Der Rohe. Looking through the books now, there are some interesting features but over all I think most of FLW's architecture seems dated. Mies' work does not convey the dated feeling as much. When you look at the Greene and Greene Brothers whose homes are timeless after close to 100 yrs... FWL is just a novelty
