Fallingwater: Examples of Modern Architecture

Built between 1936 and 1939, Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater is one of the most famed examples of modern architecture in America. Constructed atop a rushing waterfall, the home's cantilevered balconies and rough-hewn stone materials offer a breathtaking organic interplay with the natural surroundings. Fallingwater was built using technologically advanced materials for the time, including concrete and steel.
