The sayoyes paid a really good architect named Philip Jhonson to build an artistic looking house for them. After he completed it the sayoyes hated it because they wouldn't be able to live in peace, they wanted to be able to relax in comfort. She didn't want to live in a work of art. She was going to be in her house most of the time, so all she could think of was comfort.
Anotoles Frances' definition of a critics work is, its ability to be art. Some people make buildings to protect and comfort us while others make some just to look nice. The reason why she chose the architect was because she wanted her house to look beautiful and didn't think of consolation. Alain De Bottom wrote in the Architecture of Happiness, "Even if we spend the rest of our lives in the villa Roprunda or the glass house we would still often be in a bad mood." Its hard to combine art and comfort.
