Frank Lloyd Wright

"Frank Lloyd Wright (born Frank Lincoln Wright, June 8, 1867 – April 9, 1959) was an American architect, interior designer, writer and educator, who designed more than 1,000 structures and completed 500 works. Wright believed in designing structures which were in harmony with humanity and its environment, a philosophy he called organic architecture. This philosophy was best exemplified by his design for Fallingwater (1935), which has been called "the best all-time work of American architecture".^[1] Wright was a leader of the Prairie School movement of architecture, and developed the concept of the Usonian home, his unique vision for urban planning in the United States."(from wiki)

Fallingwater or Kaufmann Residence is a house designed by architect Frank Lloyd Wright in 1935 in rural southwestern Pennsylvania, 50 miles southeast of Pittsburgh. The home was built partly over a waterfall on Bear Run in the Mill Run section of Stewart Township, Fayette County, Pennsylvania, in the Laurel Highlands of the Allegheny Mountains.(from wiki)

falling water

"fallingwater is a man-made dwelling suspended above a waterfall. It ofers an imaginative solution to a perennial American problem: howto enjoy a civilized life without intruding upon the natural world. Especially in the United State, which had once possessed infinte acres of unspoiled land, teachnological progress almost always comes at the expense of nature. A long tradition of Americanlandscape painting had developed partly to satisfy city dwellers with restorative glimpses of the countryside they'd left behind. "--------Picturig America
