If I need to describe ‘Fallingwater’ in two words I would say ‘Pure Poetry’. it stands out as one of the greatest works in Modern Architecture. Blending with the gorgeous surroundings, its cantilevers floating over the landscape. Frank Lloyd Wright composes with his palette of building material mixing natural stone, concrete and glass to produce this perfect house. The interior design of the house is a natural complement of the exterior reinforcing its concepts. No wonder that ever since it was built, it has been an inspiration to countless Architects.
This Youtube Video features the house and talk about its History. It also includes an interview with current owner. Quite enjoyable.

If I could come to the US, I would certainly plan a visit there.

I don't think that FLW made a flaw in the structural design of the cantilever like the current owner claims.

This work truly influenced the way I look at houses.

Still heart-wrenching--even now. We have no classic ruins, not gothic cathedrals in this country, but we have this.
