•Designed in 1935 and completed in 1939, Fallingwater isrecognized as one of the most
unique houses ever built in America.
• It is a monument to Wright's concept of organic
architecture .•Edgar J. Kaufmann, who wanted a home near the waterfalls
of Bear Run. Wright took that notion to its extreme. "I want
you to live with the waterfall," he is said to have told
Kaufmann
• The home was owned and used by the Kaufmann familyuntil 1963.
• Mr. Kaufmann once said that “Fallingwater is not an
institution, it is a humane experience….” This guide
encourage you in order to heighten your own experience.
FALLING WATER

•
The structure rises more :than 30 feet above the falls, thus creatingthe sheltering effect.
• Two outdoor terraces extending prominently from the living room
and master bedroom comprise almost as much floor space as the
interior oft he house.
• Wright planned each face of Fallingwater to blend with the natural
surroundings.
• A series of four large bolsters built into a natural sandstone ledge
comprise the structure's foundation.
• Three of these bolsters are made of reinforced concrete, and one ismade of stone masonry.
• Three-foot wide girders daringly cantilever outward from the
bolsters approximately 15 feet over the stream.
•
These girders are the primary support for the main level terrace.

•Perhaps this is most especially true of the home Fallingwater, where
house and land truly have merged to become one.
• The structure is positioned over the falls in a series of cantilevered
concrete “trays” anchored to sandstone masonry walls.

Fallingwater
(Mill Run,
Pennsylvania,
1937) is
generally
considered to
be Wright’s
residentialmasterpiece.

•Concrete joists (four inches wide) spaced at four feet on center
span.
• The slab works integrally with the girders as a load-carrying T -
beam, while providing an aesthetically pleasing smooth finish on
the structure's underside.• The master bedroom terrace cantilevers (approx. six feet)
farther out than the main level terrace.
•Four vertical structural steel T-shaped members span upward
from the main level to support the master terrace cantilever.Interestingly, these members are also used as window mullions.
• The problem Bar reinforcement is generally placed in the top
of cantilever members to carry tension.

The Fallingwater renovation plan
calls for both strengthening and
concrete repair.
• At the main terrace level,
strengthening will include bondedpost-tension tendons parallel to
the cantilevered girders, and
unbonded tendons in the
transverse direction.• The strengthening plan also calls
for steel channel beams to be
bolted to each side of the master
level concrete joist directly above
the four 'T'-shaped mullions

•Bar reinforcement is generally placed in the
top of cantilever members to carry tension
stresses creSuch loads ated by dead and live
loads.
•at the master and main terraces includestone flooring, furniture, people, and snow.
While the cantilever girders at the main level
contain sixteen one inch-square re-bars each.
•
This deficiency has caused both terraces tosag downward towards the stream.
• Cantilever deflections of up to seven
inches over the l5-foot cantilevers caused
tension cracks to appear at the parapet walls
at the master terrace.

• The building itself became a work of art. From the street, the building
looks like a white ribbon rolled into a cylindrical shape, slightly wider
at the top than at the bottom. Internally, the galleries form a spiral.
•
When asked why he chose a ramp rather than conventional floors, Wright replied that the ramp was more welcoming to visitors, it was
better to rise to the upper levels and to descend slowly around an
open patio.
• The reason of tilted wall- Because its founder Soloman R
Guggenhium and architect thought that the paintings in a gentlysloping wall can be seen with a better light and better than if they
were hung in an absolute vertical position. This is the main feature of
our building, the assumptions on which the project was conceived.
CONCEPT

•
In 1958 Wright designed the GuggenheimMuseum in New York city it is one of his
most famous buildings rising in a spiral
shape.
• First museum established by the Solomon
R. Guggenheim foundation, dedicated tomodern art, founded in 1937.
INTRODUCTION
• Between 1943 and 1956, the start of
construction suffered numerous delays
due to changes in the conditions of thesite, changes in the agenda of the museum
and the increased costs of construction
materials, but finally, on August 16, 1956
the work of construction could begin.

• Guggenheim died before construction was completed in 1959, but when Wright died in April 1959, construction was finished, leaving
only some final details. Six months later, on October 21, the
museum opened its doors to the public.
•
In 1992, the building was supplemented by an adjoining rectangulartower, taller than the original spiral, designed by the architectural
firm of Gwathmey Siegel & Associates Architects.
• The exhibition, open to the public visiting the museum, also displays
the technology and technical instruments.
• The materials used in its construction were basically precast concrete
blocks.

• The white paint used on the internal walls
makes the works of art stand out.
• The skylight is supported by steel joints.
INTERIOR
• Wright directs visitors via a ramp to the
top of the building, and down a gentle
helicoidal ramp so that almost without
realizing it, the work set out at different
levels is interconnected, yet distinct
from one another by a small transitional
space that is almost imperceptible.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/f-l-wright-final 27/30
• The tour begins at the
entrance and slowly leads
visitors to a path where theartworks are exposed along a
spiral ramp lit by a large
skylight at its zenith divided
in the shape of a citrus fruit.
