My Favorite Architectural Object
My favorite architectural object
A brilliant architectural marvel that unites past, present and future… work which I personally admire is definitely Fallingwater house, constructed and designed by the famous American architect Frank Lloyd Wright.
Fallingwater house is one of the most remarkable masterpieces in the history of contemporary architecture.
With this house F .L. Wright reached the top in his architectural work, using very unique and inventive way to the integration of form in outer space. The main point in Fallingwater house is to introduce the personality of the architect through organic approach to the creation of form, which means that all objects should respond to the natural conditions of the site. So, that proves the fact showing that the main model of Wright’s inspiration is the nature.
For Fallingwater house it is more than obvious how much research and effort was put to find the best location in the forest. After all, the slope of the site, the compass sides, the way that the wind blows, the day and night illumination periods and etc. What is the most interesting; this house is built on the top of an active waterfall on the hill, which flows under. The structure as a whole is made of cantilevered platforms in yellow-brown color and the other vertical elements are constructed from pieces of raw stone. All the platforms are fortified in the main construction using thick reinforced concrete. Imagined as a shape, the connection between the horizontal and the vertical elements expresses terraced appearance in part to allow this house to aesthetic experience as a sculpture in the space. Almost every detail is carefully considered and set in function like in the natural environment.
The access towards the main doorstep is connected with a wooden bridge so the guests get an idea towards what he is brought to. This proves of the Wright’s organic connection between the object and the nature.
On all, the levels of Fallingwater
