Palos Verdes / Architecture
Wayfarers Chapel, Palos Verdes, CA by Lloyd Wright (Frank Lloyd Wright Jr.), 1951 and 1954 It's a memorial to Emanuel Swedenborg
"Architect Lloyd Wright has put together a new king of church--a sparkling enclosure of glass framed in the modern equivalent of Gothic tracery and carrying the glass further than the Gothic builders ever carried it--up into the roof." Architectural Forum 1951
“When the trees that surround the Chapel grow up, they will become the framework, become a part of the tree forms and branches that inevitably arise from the growing trees adjacent to it. I used the glass so that the natural growth, the sky, and sea beyond became the definition of their environment. This is done to give the congregation protection in services and at the same time to create the sense of outer as well as inner space.” - Lloyd Wright - A Visit with the Architect, 1974 via Wayfarers Chapel
Concrete with rocks, just like his dad.

Dome House / Soleri & Mills
The Dome House, 1949, in Cave Creek Arizona, by Paolo Soleri and Mark Mills. Both were former apprentices under Frank Lloyd Wright at Taliesin West. The house was commissioned by Lenora Woods. The story goes that after the house was finished Mills got to keep the tools and Soleri got the client's daughter. Paolo and Lenora Woods' daughter Colly were married from 1949 until her passing in 1982.
It looks very FLW from this angle.
