Fallingwater First Impressions

Fallingwater
Unnaturally smooth and rectangular terraces thrust out of rough rock and leafy foliage.
I’m struck by the contrast between the chaotic and vibrant beauty of nature and the symmetry of this beige monstrosity.
It’s ugly.
My first impressions of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater in Mill Run, Pennsylvania were most unkind.
But curb appeal isn’t everything.
Inside is open and airy.
The boring beige concrete that so dominates the exterior diminishes in importance, replaced by natural-looking stone, steel, and glass.

, Wright’s architecture has its quirks (design that pushed the limits of technical feasibilities of the time, leaky ceilings & all) and exerts its petty tyrannies & taxes the pocketbook of the users, but what seemed initially to be so counter-intuitive reveals a beauty that grows on you, eventually subduing all your resistance to it.
Like a rock garden or fine sashimi, Wright’s forms & aesthetics are also informed by the Japanese culture (interesting, that Steve Jobs’s calligraphy lesson had something to do with the fonts he used in Macs.) It is his genius that he saw something there that applied to the American heartland, and out of it create a style, a school, a stream of thought that would be named after “Prairie” which is unlike anything out of anywhere else in the world, but only in America.
Looking forward to reading more of Brian & Shannon’s excellent adventures! "Pin It")
