Fallingwater was started in 1936 and finished in 1939. This house was build by a famous American Architect called Frank Lloyd Wright. This house is probably known as the best private house in the United States and a landmark of international architecture and is also considered to be Wright’s architectural masterpiece. Wright’s ideal house was of a living place completely at one with nature. By building a house over a waterfall with materials that are also connected to its surrounding this ideal house is made possible. This house is an example of the shift that architecture takes regarding nature. Before things were built disregarding the fact that nature was an important factor when it comes to build a structure. But Wright does break this traditional way of doing things and believes that nature should be embedded with any structure. He believes that by considering nature, the structure takes a whole different view of what it naturally looks like. It gives life and personality to the structure itself in a genuine way. So I pick Fallingwater by Frank Lloyd.
