Ah yes, Frank Lloyd Wright's "Fallingwater":

Fallingwater

Fallingwater (1935), Bear Run, Ohiopyle, Pennsylvania

In Fallingwater, which was built as a weekend retreat for Edgar J. Kaufmann, we see Wright's greatest expression of "organic architecture" --the union of the structure and the land upon which it is built. Fallingwater is considered Wright's masterwork.

William Allin Storrer describes Fallingwater as "the best-known private home for someone not of royal blood in the history of the world."

Perched over a waterfall on Bear Run in the western Pennsylvania highlands, the rural retreat constructed for Edgar J. Kaufmann, Sr., has also been called the fullest realization of Wright's lifelong ideal of a living place completely at one with nature.

Reinforced-concrete cantilever slabs project from the rocks to carry the house over the stream. From the living room, a suspended stairway leads directly down to the stream. On the third level immediately above, terraces open from sleeping quarters, emphasizing the horizontal nature of the structural forms.

Wright himself described Fallingwater as "a great blessing --one of the great blessings to be experienced here on earth."

It’s called “Fallingwater”. designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and built for a family called the Kauffmans around 1939. About an hour and a half outside Pittsburg.

That is Frank Lloyd Wright's Falling Water. He built it for the Kaufmann family. It is about a 45 minute drive from my house. Very nice drawing. The house is located in a beautiful area of western Pennsylvania. Click on the pick to go to the organization site that maintains the house.



Some more pictures.

LOL OK, fair enough. You excel at artwork though and that’s a good thing. Have you seen a lot of China and what is your favorite area to spend time in?

my favorite area is Jiuzhaigou. that is the world of fairy tales just like an emerald. If there is really a fairyland in the world, it is the Jiuzhaigou Valley. and the golden season of traveling to Jiuzhaigou is in autumn.
