Fallingwater is a house designed in 1935 by American architect Frank Lloyd Wright for the Kaufmann family, owners of Pittsburgh’s largest department store. Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater is one of his most widely acclaimed works and exemplifies his philosophy of organic architecture: the harmonious union of art and nature.

After a recommendation by a friend to read Wright’s autobiography, Edgar Kaufmann jr. travels to Wisconsin for an interview with Wright on September 27, 1935. He begins apprenticeship at Wright’s Taliesin Fellowship in Spring Green, Wisconsin, on October 15. Edgar and Liliane Kaufmann visit their son (November 16), shortly thereafter asking Wright to design a weekend house on the wooded property they owned surrounding a waterfall at Mill Run, Pennsylvania.
