Have you ever been walking somewhere and see a
house that just didn't go with the rest of the houses. Well that
style houses was the start, of a new design that changed
how people lived forever. From 1886-1968 Frank Lloyd
Wright used his houses to show people the new and
upcoming modernistic way of life. He used a Bauhaus theme
through most of his famous buildings, for example Falling
water in Pennsylvania used concrete and glass to make a
very boxy yet free flowing house. He used many
architectural styles but his most recognized styles were
Bauhaus, and Prairie style.
He displayed modernism throughout all of his works.
One example is Falling water; he used concrete to make a
Bauhaus structure. He made the house more edged and
more elongated; this made it more open but still cozy. When
he designed the house he had the idea of being more
modern and less victorious. Wright wanted to use this
property to be very free flowing; the river that ran through the
property gave him that chance. Wright used the river to make
the house seem more in nature rather than just be a concrete
house. He incorporated a staircase that led down from the
patio to the river where you could put your feet in the water.
Also to make it feel more nature like he used the stone that
juts out of the hill and used it in the house as a wall or a
table.
