Fallingwater

Many of you have probably heard of Frank Lloyd Wright, and if so are probably most familiar with Fallingwater.

Fallingwater (designed 1935) is part of the latter half of the modernist movement. Wright was known for organic architecture, which emphasized the relationship of a structure to its environment, and also its relationship to people. To me, his buildings, including Fallingwater, are indicative of the modernist values of genuine connection. Fallingwater sits naturally in its space, not disrupting or imposing, and as such creates an authentic feeling of a balanced relationship between humanity and the earth.
