Fallingwater, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, is acknowledged as the first house of the modern movement to become a public site, opening for tours in 1964. Originally commissioned by Edgar Kaufmann Jr., the structure embodies organic architecture harmoniously integrated into nature, particularly around a remarkable waterfall. Kaufmann's apprenticeship with Wright gave him insight into this design philosophy, influencing both his family and the resulting architectural masterpiece that challenges conventional expectations in its structure and aesthetic appeal.
The Kaufmanns thought they were going to have a house that was looking a certain way, but Wright's vision often extended beyond conventional expectations.
Frank Lloyd Wright's establishment of an apprenticeship program at Taliesin allowed young Edgar Kaufmann Jr. to learn directly under the architect, creating a unique bond.
