Architecture and Civilization

Falling Water (1935) Frank Lloyd Wright       
Frank Lloyd Wrights architecture does reflect the soul of a civilization by all the techniques used to build a piece of history.  Wright believed in designing structures which were in harmony with humanity and its environment, a philosophy he called organic architecture. This philosophy was best exemplified by his design for Falling Water, which has been called the best all time work of American architecture. Wright portrays his work by having stained glass within the building, something he loved. Water falling through out the building gives it his harmonious feel of nature and comfort. The style used to create the height and style of the picture makes it a unique place to                       remember. The environment it's placed in gives it
that extra fell of humanity, as well as the bricking and paint colour brings out a building you want to visit/remember. Frank lloyd Wrights architecture is known world wide by his harmonious feel and this is true, when I look at his architectures I feel relaxed. This building is some place I would like to visit or even live at, the water just gives it that extra texture look that I love.
