Frank Lloyd Wright is one of America's most celebrated architects. He developed his distinctive prairie style emphasizing the horizontal planes of the landscape because he wanted his buildings to be in harmony with nature and fit in with their surroundings. While Wright was a highly respected and influential architect in the early 20th century, by the 1930s, he was seen by many as past his prime. Falling Water was a comeback piece for him demonstrating that decades into his career he could still innovate and leave people awestruck. Part of what sets this house apart from the average home built in the woods was that Wright didn't design the house to look at the scenic waterfall; he designed the house to be a part of the waterfall.
