I was just deeply awe-struck by Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater house and wanted to share. I love that it isn't the white, eye-blinding modernism that is still so dominating today, but the in stead a cave-like effect with sculpted soft light coming from the windows, not directly and thus blinding, but reflected from various nature-surfaces... The light in the rooms is just amazing, not too bright.

Also, the nature-culture combo and again, the cave-feeling.

Also, in the documentary, they showed quite a bit about this house. Apparently he was supposed to be working on it for awhile. Then the client called and said he was nearby, and would be there in a couple hours. And he basically drew this house in I think they said an hour and a half!
