Topic: Organic Architecture of Fallingwater House.
I need assistance with the following assignment.
Topic: Organic Architecture of Fallingwater House.
Writing Assignment
Brief opening statement of no more than a couple of sentences.
Explain the physical relationship between the waterfall and the house known as
Fallingwater.
Discuss the source of construction materials used and how they enhance a sense of
unity between the site, the house, and the surrounding area.
Interpret and explain Wright’s the concept of “organic architecture”.
Discuss with specifics, Feng Shui concepts incorporated in design elements for
o walls, windows
o fireplace
o room openings
o décor
o color scheme.
Explain the placement, material used, architectural advantages, and possible
aesthetic function of exterior cantilever terraces.
Explain whether or not you think the Fallingwater house and property merit
maintenance and preservation.
Caution: Waste no words on “Filler”. Filler is flour and bulking in ice cream and other food products. In
a paper, filler bulks up the word count.
“Filler” example, “Fallingwater is a wonderful home by the world famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright.
His genius shows in every detail of the house where lovely touches add to the inside to make this the
most famous house in the entire world.” None of this statement is relevant to the assignment tasks of
“how it’s made” and to what effect.
