Great Architecture



I watched a documentary about Frank Lloyd Wright last year which looked at this house in depth, along with Wright's life, and thinking about this homework reminded me of this particular house. The cantilever looks as if it is about to fall away into the stream, and interestingly, the lower balcony started to droop towards the water a few years after it was completed, due to some miscalculations about where the weight would be supported. However, this was corrected and strengthened in the following years.
