I think it really depends on the talent of the architect. Bad ones make spaces no one wants to be in. I love Frank Lloyd Wrights work, Falling Water is beautiful and restful inside and out.

Amen.

But is FLW still considered modern?

I love his homes.

Frank wanted his buildings to be part of it’s surroundings, and make use of the native, local materials as much as possible.

Falling Water is a good example of that philosophy.

Falling Water is beautiful and restful inside and out.

Falling Water is a perfect example of a modernist building that works because of a spectacular natural setting and the absence of any neighbors. It is a beautiful building. That said, I'd fire any architect who insisted on building in most of the furniture. I want to shove the La-Z-Boy recliner where I want it, not where the architect thinks I should sit to best imbibe his vision.

I call it falling in the water, since it was designed by an artist not an engineer. Every construction foreman told Wrght to reinforce the cantilever. He ignored them like the ass he was. And, of course, it had to be redone.

It is also so damp it is unlivable. And you have to be less than 5’5” to walk there. Frank Lloyd Wrong.
