Fallingwater vs. Farnsworth House
In creating works of architecture, architects must not only be sensitive to the aesthetics of their structures, but they must also pay attention to the relationships between their structures and the building sites. Read about Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater (pg. 237) and read ahead on Mies van der Rohe’s Farnsworth House (p. 526). Both were built as single family homes and both incorporate a landscape environment that is crucial to the architecture. Compare and contrast the way these two homes are integrated with (or antagonistic to) their setting. In what ways are they similar, and how does the interaction between building and natural environment function differently?
