A seamless combination of man, nature and art, Frank Lloyd Wright’s “Falling Water” is an architectural masterpiece built in 1939 for department store owner Edgar J. Kaufmann which is ingenious for its ability to blend with its secluded surroundings. Structurally daring, Falling Water was integrated into a hillside around a waterfall, incorporating Wright’s love of European modernism, nature and architectural drama. A New York Times architecture critic praised its construction, saying the house, outside of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, summed up 20th century architecture and then thrust it forward even farther.
