Born on this day in 1867, Frank Lloyd Wright changed how architecture could relate to nature.
His 1935 design for Fallingwater remains one of the clearest expressions of his idea of “organic architecture” — a house not simply placed in the landscape, but built into it. Its cantilevered terraces extend over the waterfall at Bear Run, while local stone ties the structure back to the rocks beneath it.
Instead of giving the owners a view of the waterfall, Wright made the waterfall part of the house itself.
