Fallingwater, recognized as one of the top architectural masterpieces of the 20th century, is a project familiar to every architecture student! It was designed by the famous American architect Frank Lloyd Wright in 1935, located near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
However, on February 22, 2025, The Wall Street Journal reported in an article about the poor condition of this project: Fallingwater, the work of Frank Lloyd Wright, is settling!
