Personal summary of Interview:http://bobnational.net/record/215697/media_id/217018
Frank Lloyd Wright is claimed to have
created the worlds most famous house of the twentieth century, Falling Water, Pennsylvania.
Vertical and horizontal platforms unite as one with its context over a
waterfall and an idyllic rural setting. Wright is well known for his philosophical
values and creating architecture that knows where it is sited, ‘‘if a house is
built in a desert, let the house know it’s in the desert.’’
Falling Water in my opinion fits seamlessly
and effortlessly with the nature in its context, as Wright has created an
organic form combining landscape architecture, architecture and interior design
as one. The interview suggests that when one is experiencing this architecture
they are ‘conscious’ of external views and light in every room and that one balcony ‘overlooks the waterfall.’
Wright also ‘’designed some of the internal fittings’’ such as built in sofas
and desks. This architecture allows nature to flow internally, for example
through corner windows that allow the seams of the buildings to vanish. Further
more rock is penetrated into the interiors and trees are built into the
building.

Frank Lloyd Wright didn’t just capture the
attention of those in the Architecture Industry; he created an Idyllic for some
of the American society in the 1930’s for living and what a house could be. His
ideas were not restricted to those architecturally cultured, but were widely
accepted to the broader audience of the public.
