I feel blessed to have grown up right on the same ridge. I wish that I had the words to express the beauty that I see daily are amazing. Thank you for this!!!
Mamah Borthwick Cheney died in 1914. Frank Lloyd Wright received the Imperial hotel commission in 1913 building commenced 1916. Between 1918 and 1923, Frank Lloyd Wright designed and built the Yamamura residence Japan 1916-1918, Hollyhock house 1918-1923, Ennis house 1921-1923, Alice Millard house 1921, Storer house, 1923, Freeman house 1923. There was not a twenty year break in his career between the time of Mamah's death and his next commissions. There was however twenty years between that tragedy and Falling Water.
In architecture there is a beauty in function to me. I can look at my craftsman style house built in 1912 as a perfect example. It has been through multiple hurricanes with only minimal damage. Cantilevers are unique, but I'll take columns thank you.
I love the entire craftsman style of design. As a woodworker, I love the shaker/craftsman furniture design. But, back to cantilevering, I bet they don't hold up good against up drafts or hurricane winds?
Eye-catchingly wonderful, but probably not so wonderful to live in. I think I read somewhere that it is dripping with damp. The built-in furniture looks very nice and neat, but the chairs and sofas are probably not so good to relax in. You'd probably need a handrail on the steps going down to the river when you get a bit older, too. All in all, the sort of thing you get from ambitious architects (like Mies' Farnsworth House, for example). They are happy to design it and happy for you to pay for it, but they probably wouldn't want to live in it themselves. But, as I commented on The Farnsworth House - "you need to ask yourselves what you want. A comfortable, mediocre house to live in? Or some discomfort and immortality?" I hope to visit later this year or next.

WE RESPECT THE WORKS OF GREAT ARCHITECTS ...
Wonderful presentation. Remember, we would not have repair teams and technology if failures weren't common. Be sure to watch both parts.
Dead? I’m sad. Excellent professional!!! Excellent presentation! I’m really sad.

So excellent a video but cut short at the most important part: the solution! I wonder if there's a continuation in another video...
