OriginalFallingwater is a house designed by architect Frank Lloyd Wright in 1935 in rural southwestern Pennsylvania, 43 miles (69 km) southeast of Pittsburgh. The house was built partly over a waterfall on Bear Run in the Mill Run section of Stewart Township, Fayette County, Pennsylvania, located in the Laurel Highlands of the Allegheny Mountains.
Reason
Fallingwater is considered as one of the best works of Frank Lloyd Wright, an architect who, according to his Wikipedia article, "believed in designing structures that were in harmony with humanity and its environment, a philosophy he called organic architecture." This photograph's composition not only demonstrates how the building is built on top of the waterfall but also how the structure blends into surroundings and rock structure. The surrounding vegetation is as important to EV as the building is.
