Great Piece of Architecture


Fallingwater, Bear Run, Pennsylvania
Designed by American architect Frank Lloyd Wright, the residence is renowned for its dynamism and integration with the organic environment surrounding it. The main materials used in the construction of the building were limestone and reinforced concrete, and the design features cantilevered floors and balconies, as well as columns reminiscent of the columns in the Johnson Wax Headquarters. One of the most unique aspects of this residence is that the sound of waterfall can be heard throughout the house, which accentuates the experience of "living among nature".
