Considered one of Wright's crowning achievements, Fallingwater embodies his organic philosophy in its integration with the striking natural surroundings. The residence was designed in 1935 and constructed between 1936 and 1939 for Edgar Kaufmann, Sr., president of the Pittsburgh-based Kaufmann's Department Store. His son, Edgar, Jr., was fascinated with Wright's ideas and studied briefly under him as a resident apprentice in architecture at the Taliesin East School and Studio.
