A house that he also built

FRANK LLYOD WRIGHT

Why would anyone want to build a home that had boulders as chairs, see-through walls, and a waterfall beneath it? When he was young, Wright worked on his uncle's farm. To get through the long days, Wright began to study the trees, bugs, animals, and birds. That took his mind off how hard the farm work was. Nature became an escape for Wright, and he grew to love it. When he was older, he wanted his buildings to look and feel like a part of nature. That is why, at Fallingwater, you can sit on a boulder at the fireplace, look out in any direction and see the forest, and hear the "music of the stream" beneath your feet.

In the 1930s, architects were just experimenting with a new way to build skyscrapers. Using steel and concrete, the architects could make strong but light buildings. So the new skyscrapers could be taller than ever. Wright used this same technique for Fallingwater. He chose four natural boulders to anchor the house to the ground. Stones were used for the walls. To support the floors that went over the waterfall, he used concrete reinforced with steel rods. The water could rush through its usual pathway, beneath the home. Boulders and Tree Stumps
