Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater: The House and Its History

6 reviews
Donald Hoffmann

Peter Smith Publisher, 1985

The Awful Problems of Turning Genius into Reality
This book is one of the best I have seen for describing in detail the challenges of creating one of America's architectural landmarks. Anyone who reads this book will be reminded of Thomas Edison's comment about genius being 99 percent perspiration and 1 percent inspiration. Fallingwater came as a commission after one of the longest dry spells of Frank Lloyd Wright's career. Despite having no ...

Fallingwater--Still the most amazing house built in the U.S.
The photos are stunning, even if three are the familiar view of Falling Water at different times of the year. So many factors converge in Falling Water that anyone who admires genius cannot help but be impressed with the most unique house ever built in the United States. Man-built and nature have never been better unified. Over seventy years later it is still the most marvelous house we are ...

So Much that is Wright
There is so much that is right about this handy and elegant little biographical volume that anyone who wants to know about Frank Lloyd Wright would find themselves in good company with the brilliant Ms Huxtable. She knows architecture (her skyscraper book is a classic) and her appreciation of Wright comes through. So does her awareness that the same genius that made such serene spaces also ...

Architect's Review:
I must say that as an architect who has been practicing for over 25 years, I have not read any book quite like this before that reaches so deeply into the creation of a master work such as Fallingwater. I have always "appreciated" FLW work but only recently have more fully understood what he has accomplished and created in built architectural works that to me borders on magical and genius at the ...

Gorgeous Photographs and Great Quotes to Show the Wright Way
Fallingwater is considered by many to be Frank Lloyd Wright's greatest home design, and by many others to be one of the very finest American homes ever built. Perched atop a waterfall in southwestern Pennsylvania in the Allegheny mountains, the site is visually stunning . . . and the home's organic connection to the site will astonish you. Fallingwater was designed for the Edgar Kaufmann ...

ALMOST LIKE BEING THERE
I am lucky enough to have Fallingwater practically in my backyard, and it is one of my favorite places on earth to visit! These viewmaster reels are incredible - 3 reels - 1 each on interiors, exteriors, and details. They are amazing, and are an okay substitute for when I can't get there! The photos are beutiful, and really capture the spirit of the house (although it really must be experienced ...

... a magical visit with a different perspective ...
In the late '50s I had the unusual chance to personally ask FLW what school might be best to learn City Planning. Not knowing then that his inimitable, signature response would be "you can't learn that in a School, you have to learn by doing." Later, I also had the pleasure of knowing Paul Bonfilio, and can attest that his own product here is a labor of love that reflects an intuitive, heartfelt ...

Universe Pub, 2006

Beautiful Photography of Amazing Architecture
This calendar, as the book description clearly states, is a collection of photographs of the house that is Fallingwater. Having visited the house, which is absolutely breathtaking, the photos are a nice way to reminisce about the ingenious design and architecture Wright incorporated into it. Please do not buy this if you are looking for a kitschy calendar of waterfalls. But if you have a love ...

Abbeville Press, 1986

The crown jewel of my collection of 50+ FLW books
I admit it, I paid full price for this thing. I'm still glad I did, though I took a big gulp when I bought it. Particularly given that I've built my FLW big photo book collection from discounted used, though excellent condition purchases. I saw this in the store and I just had to have it. It was an indulgence, no question. But I took the plunge. 190 pages. 12 1/4" tall x 9 3/4". The ...

AWESOME!...
Fallingwater, in and of itself, is a name that commands awe and respect. This book epitomizes that notion. Simply, this is it. This is the be all, end all of texts on this masterpiece by the late F.L.W. I have been an admirer of F.L.W. since I was in the fifth grade, and had to do a report on earthquakes and buildings. Living in S.F., I guess this was a hot topic. But, in a showing ...

A lovely tribute to an architectural masterpiece
"Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater," by Carla Lind, is one of a series of books that celebrate the work of this visionary architect. This volume in the series is devoted to Fallingwater, the amazing modern house designed by Wright in 1935 for Liliane and Edgar J. Kaufmann. This is a "mini-book," but despite its small size, it is an impressive tribute to a landmark of home architecture. Carla ...
