Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater: The House and Its History (Dover Architecture)

I ordered this book to learn more about the different surfaces of the house in order to complete a model. Also needed to know more about the landscaping around the house. Book is very insightful with photographs but also in text......will help me in working with builder of my next house.

I wasn’t impressed with this boos due to the fact it only had blurry black and white pictures inside. I guess at $20 I can’t complain too much.

Thorough cataloging of FLW infamous project but you have to go there...JS

Outstanding history on the Falling Water house and Frank Lloyd Wright. Great book to have sitting on your coffee table as a conversation piece, too.

What a disappointment! I ordered this book thinking it would contain beautiful pictures of this remarkable house. Nope. There are only black and white pictures obviously taken many years ago. The pictures aren't as sharp as one would wish. The only color pictures are the front and back covers. It doesn't do this house or FLW justice. I'm returning it.

This is a brief but fascinating history of Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater, the most famous house in America not located at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Some reviewers express disappointment that all the photos in the book are black and white. I understand this disappointment and believe the book would be a five-star with no doubt with a few color photos included. Nevertheless, if you are interested in the house, the text of the book makes it well worth the very reasonable purchase price. With many direct quotations taken from correspondence between architect and owner, the book traces the timeline of the project, the stops and starts in building, the inevitable obstacles in construction and the deep clashes between Wright and Kaufmann. Reading the book prior to a visit to the famous house would be a great preparation for a tour.

It could have contained more color illustrations to get the real feel for this outstanding example of Wright’s work.

I admire all of Frank Lloyd Wight's work; however, I am obsessed with Fallingwater. I was fortunate to be able to visit Fallingwater an take the tour. The house is even more magnificent when you actually see it and walk through its rooms. The book contained the information I was seeking. I was curious to know about Fallingwater from Frank Lloyd Wright's vision to the completion of the house and its surroundings. He was definitely a visionary--way ahead of his time.

Sehr detailliert beschrieben.

So many interesting details about the build of this iconic house, and full of interestin photos you don't normally see that give such a feel for the place.

excellente qualité comme texte et illustrations

Exactly what I was looking for as it was a birthday gift and quick delivery
