Falling Water, Frank Lloyd Wright's iconic house, lies a top a stream in the southern Pennsyvania foothills. Vertical stone pillars anchor it to the ledge rock and support strong horizontal bands of floor slabs and balconies. The sunlit cream-colored balconies are set off by the dark shadows underneath. The solidity of the structure and the rock it sits on are softened by the sun-glistened waters of the rushing stream below. My sketches try to capture the interplay of the strong vertical and horizontal elements of the design.
love your sketches, loose and tight at the same time, really describes the intriquing qulaity of the FLW falling water design
