I was an architecture student in Ken Isaacs' class at the University of Illinois in 1970. We built and lived in structures based on his concepts, so I was glad to see this video and that his ideas and work are so well documented. Thanks!

My great-uncle is Henry Isaacs, Ken's father. His sister, Martha Helen King is my grandmother. Ken - if you read this, would you please send a comment?
