In Neal Shusterman's Arc of a Scythe book series, Scythes Marie Curie and Anastasia live at Fallingwater, which before their residency fell out of the public consciousness and into disrepair. [48] After Fallingwater was deeded to the public, three carport bays were enclosed at the direction of Kaufmann Jr. to be used by museum visitors to view a presentation at the end of their guided tours on the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy (to which the home was entrusted). Kaufmann Jr. designed its interior himself to specifications found in other Fallingwater interiors by Wright. Feldman, Gerard C. (September 2005). "Fallingwater Is No Longer Falling" (PDF).

Fallingwater appears in season 18 episode 3 of The Simpsons, the long-running animated series. Following Homer Simpson's antics, Marge Simpson learns carpentry and builds a birdhouse depicting Fallingwater, along with other notable architectural achievements. The instructions themselves begin with the “nature” portion of the build. The house is built separately and pieced together almost like a puzzle that slides into the base. The entire house, in fact, is held to the base by one single stud. It’s a tight and sturdy fit that makes it one of the best parts of the build. Overall it’s about 117 steps total broken out into several different sections. The Build Silman, Robert & Matteo, John (July 1, 2001). "Repair and Retrofit: Is Falling Water Falling Down?" (PDF).

Fallingwater was the Kaufmann family's weekend home from 1937 until 1963, when Edgar Kaufmann Jr. donated the property to the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy. [24] The family retreated to Fallingwater on weekends to escape the heat and smoke of industrial Pittsburgh. Liliane enjoyed swimming in the nude and collecting modern art, especially the works of Diego Rivera, who was a guest at the country house. [28]

More about this manual

Fallingwater is a home designed by famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright in 1935, partially overlooking a waterfall in the mountains of southwestern Pennsylvania. It’s not only considered to be Wright’s greatest architectural achievement, but one of the greatest architectural achievements ever. A passage quoted in the the LEGO instruction guide describes Fallingwater as “that rare work which is composed of such delicate balancing of forces and counterforces, transformed into spaces thrusting horizontally, vertically and diagonally, that the whole achieves the serentiy which marks all great works of art.” (Paul M. Rudolph, 1970, “Global Architecture – Frank Lloyd Wright Kaufmann House, Fallingwater”.) The LEGO Design At age 67, Frank Lloyd Wright was given the opportunity to design and construct three buildings. With his three works of the late 1930s, (Fallingwater, the Johnson Wax Building in Racine, Wisconsin, and the Herbert Jacobs house in Madison, Wisconsin), Wright regained his prominence in the architectural community. [10] The Kaufmanns [ edit ] Edgar and Liliane's only child, Edgar Kaufmann Jr., became the catalyst for his father's relationship with Frank Lloyd Wright. [11] In the summer of 1934, Kaufmann read Frank Lloyd Wright's An Autobiography (1932) and traveled to meet him at his home in Wisconsin in late September. Within three weeks, he began an apprenticeship at the Taliesin Fellowship, a communal architecture program established in 1932 by Wright and his wife, Olgivanna. It was during a visit with their son at Taliesin in November 1934 that Edgar and Liliane Kaufmann first met Wright. [11]
