the name.
Designed to be in harmony with nature.
Geometry
Wright used few shapes to create
Falling-Water, these shapes include
rectangles, pentagons, semi-circles, and
squares.
Wright mostly used semi-circles to grow
around trees.
Design
Wright used only four materials
to construct this building, these
materials are, glass, sandstone,
reinforced concrete, and steel.
The main house is 3 stories and
the guest house is 2 stories,
including the servants quarters.
