I recommend everyone to visit his masterpiece building: Fallingwater tucked in the Pennsylvania countryside, and also a nearby smaller house Kentuck Knob. I visited both twice. During my second visit I stood breathless before the Fallingwater and weeped, so beautiful and perfect it was.
- zrail 12y agoIt's a gorgeous building that I plan to visit soon. Interestingly, at construction it had severe structural and environmental deficiencies. For example, mildew was a huge problem for many years, and the perfect cantilevers were not strong enough and sagged until they were repaired in the early 2000s. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallingwater#Repair_work http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallingwater#Repair_work
- zb 12y agoSeconded. I wrote up a little piece about my visit to Fallingwater and why it particularly fascinates me, as a software engineer: http://www.zerobanana.com/essays/fallingwater/ http://www.zerobanana.com/essays/fallingwater/ (Kentucky Knob is also really interesting, and so close that it's certainly worth visiting both if you're in the area.)
