In the wooded heart of Pennsylvania, a house perches atop a waterfall. The water's tune echoes through its sunlight-dappled rooms, and the facade blends effortlessly into the rock and forest behind it. This is Fallingwater, an architectural masterpiece born from the marriage of meticulous research and unbounded imagination, the legacy of the lauded American architect Frank Lloyd Wright.
This stunning picture book collaboration between Marc Harshaman, Anna Egan Smucker, and LeUyen Pham guides readers through Wright's process designing Fallingwater, from his initial inspiration to the home's breathtaking culmination. It is an exploration of the creative process; a celebration of potential and the vision required to unlock it. Graceful prose and rich, dynamic illustrations breathe life into the story of Wright and of Fallingwater, a man and a home utterly unlike any other.
