It’s not a painting or a sculpture... but another form of art that deserves attention as we meander through the world of famous works of art together.
In this episode, Claire brings Fallingwater, designed by the famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright for the Kaufmann family in 1935, and constructed between 1936 - 1938. The woodland residence in the Appalachian Mountains of rural Pennsylvania has become an iconic work of organic architecture.
Built partly over a waterfall along the Bear Run River, the home embodies the idea that the surrounding natural world can be seamlessly incorporated into the design and made an experiential part of the living spaces. It blends in with its environment while presenting a unique and daring engineering challenge.
It’s on the UNECSO World Heritage List, the Smithsonian named it one of the “Places to See Before You Die,” and called "best all-time work of American architecture" by the American Institute of Architects.
