FALLINGWATER

Frank Lloyd Wright designed FALLINGWATER,the house located in Bear Run,Pennsylvania,in 1937. . The section of the house that extends over a natural waterfall (shown here) exemplifies Wright’s belief that a building’s form should be determined by its environment. The contrasts in the textures and colours of natural stone, concrete, and painted metal on the building’s exterior are characteristic of Wright’s innovative style.
