FALLINGWATER

Fallingwater is one of the incredible achievements of the American architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Erigée in 1936, above a waterfall, was built for the Kaufmann family, owner of a chic store in Pittsburgh. In the heart of the Laurel Highlands, in the Allegheny Mountains, Fallingwater is the very example of the integration of architecture in the nature advocated by Frank Lloyd Wright. This philosophy of life is found in a multitude of elements, starting with the use of the sandstone from the basement of the property and other resources from the region. The modernity of the place and the intelligence of its development are striking and the visit of this ensemble, prepared as in equilibrium above the fall, leaves us without voice. The building, which can be explored by taking part in a guided tour, has been classified as UNESCO's World Heritage Site since 2008 and is often considered the most beautiful achievement by Frank Lloyd Wright. There is no reason to be missed by architects.
