FALLING WATER: The House That Frank Lloyd Wright Built

The word INTEGRITY fascinates me.

The absence of INTEGRITY is frightful.

Currently, the Malaysian environment is reeling from the effects of degenerative corruption...complete absence of integrity.

But here is an example of a human being with integrity. He brings with him qualities that lift. Works that come from him enrich, ennoble and enable new efforts to build with new vigour.

FALLING WATER is a work worth looking at for itself. And for the quality of an original man with INTEGRITY who built it.

In 1935, Frank Lloyd Wright returned to the spotlight with FALLING WATER, a residence for Pittsburgh's acclaimed Kaufmann family.

Strikingly original and stunningly beautiful, FALLING WATER was designed using a series of cantilevered balconies and terraces constructed atop a waterfall. This innovative private house in rural southwestern Pennsylvania remains Wright's most celebrated works.

It has been declared a national landmark that is widely considered one of the most beautiful homes ever built.

Frank Lloyd Wright's thinking:

Architecture is essentially human. It is the human spirit manifesting itself. When a man builds, he can't hide. You know what, who and how that man is.
