Villa On The Air

One of the most emblematic buildings of the first half of 1900 is undoubtedly FALLINGWATER. Also known as KAUFMANN RESIDENCE, named after its owner, the house was designed and built in Pennsylvania (USA) by architect Frank Lloyd Wright and considered one of the masterpieces of modern architecture. This architecture (defined by its author "organic architecture") promotes harmony between man and nature. Fallingwater was born from a 1935 project for Edgar J. Kaufmann, a rich and sophisticated trader from Pittsburgh. Its construction, which began in 1936 by Frank Lloyd Wright, ended in 1939.

Personally, I would give another name to the house of the American architect: VILLA ON THE WATER. If the Villa On The Water had its importance at the time of its creation, in late 1900, at the end of the seventies, it could have been relevant the VILLA ON THE AIR, which I thought at that time, if it had been built.
