Summary
[edit]Description"Fallingwater" - Frank Lloyd House.jpg |
English: Fallingwater is a weekend home which Frank Lloyd Wright designed for Edgar Kaufmann Sr. Wright designed the house in 1934-1935, and it was built in 1936-1939. It was built over a 30 ft (9 m) waterfall on Bear Run, a stream that feeds into the Youghioheny River. It is about 50 miles (80 km) southeast of Pittsburgh. The closest town is Ohiopyle, Pennsylvania. This photo shows the main living area of the house. The waterfall is below the lower, cantilevered deck.
Kaufmann was the owner of Kaufmann's Department Store, the leading department store in Pittsburgh in the 1930s and 1940s. Frank Lloyd Wright has been called the leading American architect of the 20th century. Fallingwater is his most famous creation. His fame has suffered recently because of his requirement for unlimited budgets (which he often exceeded), lack of tolerance for cliients' (or anyone's opinions), and most of all technical failures in his buildings. Fallingwater was typical of these, with sagging cantilever decks, leaking roofs, and a strong tendency to mildew. The house is now owned by a foundation, which has corrected these defects at great cost. |
