Frank Lloyd Wright Paper From Original Fallingwater Blueprint (CAG Encapsulated)

Frank Lloyd Wright Paper From Original Fallingwater Blueprint.

One of Wright's most famous designs, and one of the most instantly recognizable examples of "organic architecture," Fallingwater (1934-1937) was designed as the weekend home of Edgar J. Kaufmann (1885-1955) and Liliane S. Kaufmann (1889-1952), a wealthy and influential Pittsburgh couple. The house was situated directly above and beside a waterfall along Bear Run, a 5-mile-long tributary of the Youghiogheny River in southwestern Pennsylvania. Fallingwater is known for its vertical elements of Pottsville sandstone, and its semi-circular concrete "trays" extending by cantilevering technology over the rushing stream below.

Offered here is an original piece of paper from the blueprints.
