Built in 1937 in Bear Run, PA, Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater is one of the great masterpieces of modern architecture. Perched on rocks above a waterfall, the house, built for the most part of reinforced concrete, is a feat of engineering & a marvel of design. Thousands visit the house every year, & thousands more ponder its breathtaking lines & balance at the Mus. of Modern Art in NY, where its scale model is part of the permanent collection. Here, Bonfilio writes of his relation to the house & particularly its model & his 2 years of building it. The result is a journey through the famous structure, from which the reader emerges with a new appreciation for not only the flow of the house, but an intimate knowledge of its construction & engineering idiosyncrasies. Illus.Bonfilio, Paul is the author of 'Fallingwater The Model', published 2000 under ISBN 9780756775827 and ISBN 0756775825.
