Absolutely mesmerizing video showcasing Frank Lloyd Wright's genius! 🏡 Inspired, I've delved into architecture on my channel too. Check it out: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ayve60FLWO0.html Let's celebrate Wright's incredible legacy together! 🙌
One of the better tours of this most famous of Wright masterpieces, by showing more of the natural beauty of the surroundings. I only wish all of the useless face diapers could be edited out.
I think the fact that the house was closed due to covid, was actually a good thing. We got to see something I bet most people don't normally film. Watching this, you really get to appreciate the reason the house was built there. It's not just the waterfall, it's being totally surrounded by Nature. I could feel my blood pressure going down while watching this. It is so calming. Thanks for such an excellent video. ❤
We just got home. We took this journey at 4am to make the 5:56 sunrise. There are no words to describe....there were only clouds rising from the gorge as we were at the far right view. Simply amazingly gorgeous and awe inspiring. Just. Wow. ❤
I grew up by this house. I feel lucky to live here. Not only is there so much natural beauty but so much history....including this house. Just down the road from this home, George Washington was just a young man, and not too far from here is Jamonville Glenn where he witnessed the start of the French and Indian War. A couple of miles from Fallingwater is Kentuck Knob and we also adopted Duncan House.
"Masterpiece" isn't exactly the right word for Fallingwater. "Screwup" would be better. For all the praise Wright gets for it, a lot of people aren't aware of the the massive problems with his basic design. The cantilevered balconies were poorly designed by Wright, and because of his massive ego he refused to accept the advice of experienced engineers regarding the structural bracing. Over the years they sagged to the point of almost destroying the entire house. Only substantial and expensive renovation and new structural bracing has saved it. It might look pretty from the outside, but it's actually an expensive engineering disaster.
Right on. And that's only part of it. Next time you're there, ask a guide how many tens of thousands of dollars they spend every year to fight the pernicious mold/mildew. Yeah, a fun place to visit; a bitch to live in. That's why the Kaufmann son couldn't unload it ASAP when he inherited it.
Wright's admiration for Japanese architecture was important in his inspiration for this house, and for most of his work. Just like in Japanese architecture, Wright wanted to create harmony between man and nature, and his integration of the house with the waterfall succeeded in doing so.Nov 8, 2021
This does absolutely nothing to dispel my belief that architects are twits. Imagine creating such an unusable mess and then being proud of it because it's "art".
It was made with the intent of someone living in it. This someone paid Frank to build him a house that would resonate with nature & with a waterfall as a view. The story goes that this guy hadn't heard from Frank for months after paying him a good amount of money to have the projects made but he was busy/proscastinating. This guy then calls Frank and tells him he wants so see the projects and that he's heading to Frank and will be there in 2 hours. Frank didn't have anything made yet, so he started & finishes designing the project within 2 hours. House is made, guy lives in it for a short amount of time & dies. Son sees that maintanance costs are high & decides to put it as a "museum".
@@inoc6661 Obviously, the house is an indulgence of the rich and as such things often are, practicality was not the utmost concern. But the Kaufmanns loved the location, including the giant boulder where they camped before the house was built and which was left in place as part of the living room hearth. They loved the feeling that it gave them. Many of us can relate to that. It does not need to be rationalized. The beauty is compensation enough for any negatives. They owned the house for decades, including ten years after the parents passed away. Does not seem that they especially wanted to "unload" it. While we all know that it wasn't perfect, Fallingwater is still overwhelmingly embraced as a great architectural treasure.
Dear The Travelling Trio, I am writing to enquire about your permission to use your video clip. This is <TalkpawonS 25hrs>, the Korean TV show which is broadcasted on JTBC(Korean TV channel). With your permission, we'd like to use your video clip for introducing Fallingwater by Frank Lloyd Wright. It will be broadcasted at 9PM on July 11, 2022. Thank you for your kind attention and look forward to hearing from you.
If I ever had the means, I would build a replica of this house to live in! Except I wouldn’t build it over a stream! I’ve heard there have been a lot of problems because of it. Maybe a unique pool with a waterfall instead of a stream. I just love this place!
The buffet restaurants had variety of options from continental to thai/chinese to indian & local caught seafood. The live stations of pastas and noodles were pretty good. The menu was lil different everyday for the entire week stay and they tried to adjust as much cuisine as possible. The snack and coffee menu from all the bars had very limited options infact all the bars serve the same menu, but overall a good food experience. We hope that the answer is helpful for you if you have any further questions don't hesitate to ask and do subscribe to our channel. Thank you
