Description
"In the foothills of Western Pennsylvania lies what is undoubtedly the most famous modern home in the United States and, perhaps, the world: Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater. Commissioned in 1934 to design a weekend retreat for Pittsburgh department store magnate Edgar Kaufmann, Wright shocked his client and the architectural establishment with a daring sculptural composition dramatically cantilevered over the white water of Bear Run."--BOOK JACKET. "Fallingwater at once expresses Wright's ideal of an "organic" architecture attuned to the rhythms of the natural world while fully embracing the modernist idiom - albeit on his own terms. For Wright, the commission offered a chance to thrust himself back into the forefront of architectural practice. Considered passe by some proponents of the international Style, with Fallingwater Wright proved to all that he remained at the vanguard of the profession."--BOOK JACKET. "Ezra Stoller's photographs of Fallingwater, largely commissioned by New York's Museum of Modern Art in 1963, have become icons in their own right, illustrating the building's integral connection to the landscape and its striking modern form."--BOOK JACKET.
