ArchitectureWeek Description
Fallingwater Rising is the story not only of an architect but of one of the most famous houses of the twentieth century. Scholars and the public have long praised the virtues of the house that Frank Lloyd Wright situated over a Pennsylvania waterfall in 1937. Toker studied Fallingwater for eighteen years and presents a fresh perspective on the relationship between the architect and E.J. Kaufmann, who commissioned the house. The book includes 16 pages of color photographs and 97 illustrations. Toker reveals the fascinating history of the creation and life of what is arguably the most important house of twentieth century America. Amazon Customer Average Rating:
