GALA — Sept. 17, 201175th Anniversary GalaFallingwaterMill Run, PAAttend an "enchanted evening of Art in Nature" in celebration of the 75th anniversary of Fallingwater, the famous home built in the 1930s over a waterfall by Frank Lloyd Wright for the Kaufmann family. Enjoy this rare opportunity to dine al fresco with an illuminated forest serving as the backdrop. Delight in meeting wood nymphs from the Bodiography Contemporary Ballet, and take in a light-and-sound installation by Luftwerk at this architectural National Historic Landmark. Click here to learn more details about the event.

The iconic view of the house can be had with just a short walk through the woods to an outcropping. In what can rarely be said about buildings, this house makes Mother Nature all the better for being there. It truly is the high point in Frank Lloyd Wright's quest for an "organic architecture."

Frank Lloyd Wright's most famous private residential design is an organic masterpiece that was site driven. The way Fallingwater merges into its surroundings set a precedent, especially the way it hovers over a stream and a waterfall.

As with Copeland, Madison Avenue has done much to turn the works of George Gershwin into clichés. But no matter, these works embody what would become known as the American century. In what can only be described as symptomatic of so much of America, Gershwin so admired the French composers that he asked to study under them. Surely he was able to beat the French at their own game but didn't, unlike Frank Lloyd Wright, know it.

1930s. This decade would have to be characterized as lost to the Great Depression. With massive unemployment and an almost complete collapse of the building industry, it's a wonder any houses were built, especially one that has to be one of the most beautiful ever. So the colors of this decade were forest greens, soft browns and yellows as well as Frank Lloyd Wright's favorite, Cherokee Red. See more of the colors of Fallingwater.

Dream: Fallingwater, Pennsylvania, by Frank Lloyd Wright (1937). Most people are stimulated by the prospect of living in or even building their dream home. Architects are stimulated by the exciting challenges of realizing those dreams.
