<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"In association with the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy."<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>This seminal volume, now back in print in a new format and at a reduced price, offers a deeply immersive tour of Frank Lloyd Wright's most legendary building. A landmark volume to commemorate what is arguably the most significant private residence of the twentieth century. With stunning photography commissioned especially for the book, <i>Fallingwater</i> captures the much-loved masterpiece by legendary architect Frank Lloyd Wright. The book includes authoritative texts on Fallingwater's history, structure, restoration, and collections, including the house's relationship to its setting and its importance to the sustainability movement; its meaning in the context of Wright's body of work; the analysis and planning process that went into Fallingwater's restoration and how a seemingly unsolvable problem was overcome through modern engineering. The book is a tribute to the genius behind this masterwork.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Editor Lynda Waggoner and photographer Christopher Little have produced a remarkable tribute to one of Wright's signature works on the 75th anniversary of the 1936 groundbreaking (construction took three years)." <i>Wall Street Journal</i><br><i> </i><br>"The book includes her introduction, as well as a great deal of new information, including correspondence between Wright and Kaufman never published before." <i>Architects and Artisans<br></i><br>Both informative and aesthetically pleasing, this definitive work will be well appreciated... <i>Publishers Weekly<br> </i><br>"...the book brings to the foreground the emotional experience that a visitor can extract from visiting this exceptional place." <i>Archinovations<br></i><br>Thanks to <i>Fallingwater, </i>a new book of essays and sumptuous photographs edited by Fallingwater's director, Lynda Waggoner, you can take an engrossing armchair tour.
