It is difficult to fully appreciate a structure only from what you can see online, but this week we will focus on Frank Lloyd Wright‘s Fallingwater.
Fallingwater is considered one of the top three Wright buildings (the other two are Robie House in Chicago and the Gugenheim Museum in NYC). Frank Lloyd Wright is known as much for his innovative architecture as his scandalous personal life (he left his wife and six kids to run off with a mistress who was later hacked to death with an axe at their home!), and over-the-top personality (he claimed to be the greatest living architect).
