Great Piece of Architecture - Falling Water (Frank Lloyd Wright)

'Falling Water' is a famous piece of architecture located in Pennsylvania. It was designed by the well known architect Frank Lloyd Wright in 1935.

I first became aware of Wright's Falling Water in high school. Since then I have admired his work.

To me Falling Water is an astonishing piece of architecture. It is a classic example of how a made structure can be in harmony with the natural environment.

Wright's clever use of colour allows the building to reflect the natural shades of the environment. The use of square and rectangular shapes, mirrors the rock shelf that falls beneath the structure. These techniques accentuate the harmonious relationship between nature and the design.

SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL

Original Photo of Something Beautiful...

This was an original photo taken on my iPhone while staying at my friend’s farm located in Bunyan NSW. This photo captures a road covered by a layer of snow which leads to an old, rustic bush homestead. I used an iPhone application to enhance the photograph.

To me this photograph symbolises the fluctuating beauty of the Australian bush and the soft tones evoke a feeling of relaxation and serenity. This photo also reflects my great affinity with the Australian bush, both its harshness and beauty.
