Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater is located 60 miles due West of Pittsburgh. Reading about it (as I did while studying Architecture back in India) just doesn't prepare you for the experience of walking through it. Anthropometrics is at it's finest and more importantly FLW's concept of 'bringing the outside in and the inside out' is better appreciated - The man was a genius when it came to visualizing 3-dimensional space both in the way the house interacts with the river beneath and the vistas within, of different passage-ways, spaces and portals. Fallingwater cost all of $150,000 to build and earned the master architect a handsome $8,000.
I was at least a week late in going to Fallingwater - the Fall colors had peaked in the region and very little of the foliage was left on the trees due to the previous day's 40Miles/hr winds.
