Fallingwater is one of most famous houses in the world. There are many videos already made about this masterpiece, but this video gives a complete overview: including the history, construction and a walkthrough of the interior. I wanted to make the definitive overview, including even the smallest details. Fallingwater had a major influence on John Lautner, who worked as an assistant of Mr. Wright during the construction of Fallingwater, therefore the video belongs to the channel. To preserve the legacy of Wright and Lautner and to enjoy the beauty of their work.
Fallingwater was Frank Lloyd Wright's ultimate masterpiece. This video itself is a masterpiece of presentation about it. There are none better. Bravo!
Thank you for calling the video a masterpiece! Really great to read all the positive comments, it stimulates me to make more videos. More content will come up soon!
Idk defiantly top 3, Personally I like the SC Johnson wax headquarters but it's a building with a different function.
amazing video narration@@SuperJobbel
THANK YOU! The guest house is often overlooked. So pleased you included it.
I want to make the video's as complete as possible, so for each house I cover everything. Most videos only show the most important parts of the house.
I have to say, I was there in 1985 or thereabouts. I remember the lower level where you came in before you climbed up the driveway to the house. You might notice that there were funguses sticking off the bottom of the big maple trees down at the flat level below the house. You will notice they were large beige kind of warm oquery colored funguses that stuck out in different directions off the trunks. I believe that this was the model for the extended balconies at Fallingwater a reflection of these fungus is sticking out of the bottom of the trees as you might remember if you've been there. You have done a good job at presenting this is difficult as it is, because experiencing it it all flows together. I love the fact that Johnson's Pace wax was used to polish the Limestone flags on the floor internally and no polish was used on the rock flags that extended outside of the Interior onto the balconies. The only difference between the stone inside the house and the stone out on the balconies was this polished finish which could be replenished very easily at any time with more Johnson paste wax. Butcher Block wax was used on the cork walls in the bathrooms to keep them from absorbing moisture. It is also significant to note that woven cane shelves were made in the cupboards and drawers so that the ventilation of clothing inside was constant to avoid excess humidity from the waterfall. Thank you so much for this wonderful presentation. I have studied a lot of your Lautner works and I'm very grateful for your very thorough presentations.
Great to hear that you like the videos so much. F.L Wright and J.Lautner are my favorite architects and I lvoe to show the beauty of their work as complete as possible. You share a lot of knowledge, in your comment, that I didn't knew yet, thank you for that! it was very interesting to read.
You are obviously a serious scholar.
No maaaaames puro chisme como que you were there
So well done..highlighting doorways and rooms with color made it so much easier to follow and get a sense of the spaces! Thank you!
Thank you! I made this video because I never saw a video that gave a complete explanation of the lay out and showing the exact placing and dimensions of the rooms: So its really nice to hear that I succeeded in showing the complete house. More similar videos about Wright's houses will come up.
'How you do one thing is how you do everything'. The detail you put into these videos makes them worth it to go over time and time again, much love.
Thank you, This stimulates me to make more videos. I really like make themso detailed as possible. Showing all the brilliant inventions by Wright. I do this because there's wasen't enough information available on youtube.
Thank you for presenting a tour that covers all aspects of Fallingwater for those of us who cannot visit in person. Magnificent.
You're welcome. I really liked making this video. More videos will come up.
“To achieve great things, two things are needed: a plan and not quite enough time.”
― Leonard Bernstein
Good quote! Thanks...yes, the best achievements were made under stress.
By far, this is the best documentary of the Kaufman House. I have never visited this house, but as an architect myself, I have seen many plans and photos of it. But it's always photos of the same main spaces, over and over again. Instead of this monotony, you have included spaces I have never seen before: kitchen, baths, hallways, guest house, even the garage. Not to mention stairs everywhere! After seeing so much more of the house, my conclusion is that the bare bedrooms, which I've not seen before, are where Wright skimped on the budget.
This is a video to watch more than once.
Thank you! Really great to read your message because your reaction is exactly what I wanted to achieve: to show the entire house with all the details and parts that are never been shown. I had the same problem as you: I saw many videos, photos and books but they only showed some parts of the house. So I started to research everything and now I share that exploration with other people. There are no videos who have done this. I want to make these complete overviews about most houses by FL Wright, I have already made many videos about the houses of my other favorite archtiect John Lautner.
Best show I’ve seen of Falling water as far as seeing the whole house and how it was put together. Also like the narration and music, all to the point. Great!
Thank you. Really wonderfull to read your comment. I saw many videos about Fallingwater before, but they never gave a complete overview: its was difficult to put all the parts of the house together. So I started to make the most complete video myself: showing the entire building with all the details. Your reaction is what I hoped: to make the ultimate Fallingwater overview. I've already made many of these overviews about John Lautner's homes, I'm now busy with making more videos about the homes by F.L Wright and Richard Neutra. So more content will come up!
Imagine the impact the house had in the 30's. I wonder if there's any cinematic film of the family living at the house back then. I can imagine the children walking across the waterfall and exploring the woods and makeshift rafting on the river. What a time it must have been for them.
This is the house in which every child would like to grow up, although its a bit dangerous for to young children. However the only son of mr and mrs. Kaufmann was already in his 20's when they build the house, so as fas as I know: no ever child ever lived in the house. also, no cinematic movies was ever filmed in the house: it would be a great location for a Hollywood movie.
I love your narration with animated graphics. It makes it much easier to understand the profound engineering behind each of those projects.
Thank you! great to hear that you liked the video so much. It was a lot of hard work but I really enjoyed making it. More videos about the houses by Frank Lloyd Wright and John Lautner wil come up soon.
Your name is Terence Malik? Terence Malik is also a famous movie director!
@SuperJobbel I know who he is, right. Unfortunately, I'm not him:)
I'm just an ordinary electrical engineer from Russia. Thank you for your feedback, and have a great day!
I may or may not have the Lego Architecture model of Fallingwater on display in my apartment. 😉
This video was great to watch about one of America's most famous houses.
Haha... Yes I also have the Lego scale model, I included it in the video and those who have it will recognise it. Some kind of inside joke.
@@SuperJobbel0:16 Thank you - that inclusion prompted me to go buy a used set. I cant wait!
Best showing of the construction details 👌
Thank you! I like to explain the houses and construction as good as possible.
Thanks for the walkthrough. You really showed how the spaces are connected. It is very appreciated!
Glad you like it. it was a pleasure and a challenge to make this video.
Amazing work of art! Thanks for sharing
Good to have you back! Thank you for yet another detailed in-depth video, much appreciated.
Yes, i'm back: more videos will come up. I'm currently with working on some John Lautner houses. Hopefully the next video will be uploaded in two weeks.
@@SuperJobbel That is great to hear, I'm looking forward to it! Thanks again
Wonderful tour ,and a refreshing take on this beautiful home. Thank you for all your work.
You're welcome! Great to read that you like the video so much. More videos about other homes about Lautner and F.L Wright will come up.
Love Your Video’s! Watch them all. Thanks for your great work.
Thanks! Wonderfull to read that you like the videos so much, this stimulates me to go on :) More videos will come up.
Jop, great piece of work. It made a highlight out of an otherwise rainy Sunday. Thanks an keep up this level of work. It is much appreciated.
Dank je wel en dank voor je steun. Mooi om te horen dat ik de regenchtige dag een beetje heb opgefleurd. Meer videos komen eraan.
Been a fan of this house since I was a kid and to see the entire house for the first time is mind blowing. Thank you for the tour!
You're welcome! I'm gonna make more videos about Frank lloyd wright houses.
Yours is a wonderfully extensive look at this beloved masterpiece. The learning curve was great for this fan of Modern Architecture. Thank you, and please, carry on!
Thank you! great to hear that you liked the videos so much and that you learned so much from it. This stimulates me to make more videos.
Oh! Please remain stimulated to create many more excellent educational videos!!! @@SuperJobbel
This is the best record about Fallingwater I have seen. Detailed and accurate. Better than any picture book or video about the house. Well done.
Thank you very much! It's a challenge to make the videos as complete and accurate as possible. Showing all the details, the entire story. So if I have succeeded in that it gives me a good feeling. It stimulates me to make more videos. :)
I go every couple of years - different seasons: never gets old, and its presence in architectural history is gargantuan . A stupendous feeling every single time. 🌿🟥🌿 Fantastic narration and superb video production. Thanks for this.
Wonderfull to hear that you liked the video so much, it stimulates me to make more videos. I have visited Fallingwater once, and most photos in this video were taken during that visit. I would love to go every year like you do.
Such a well done video. Thank you very much for documenting this in a way that explains the thought and reasoning behind these design choices. This is the first video that allows one to fully appreciate the architecture and explain and show the different techniques used to make it such a special place. Thank you!
Really great to read that you liked the video so much. I like to make the videos as complete as possible, giving people the feeling that they walked through the house. Your possitive comment stimulates me to make more videos. More content will come up!
Great tour. Love all the graphics. Can't wait to visit the house.
Thanks, great to hear that you liked the video so much. You really should visit the house: no video can capture the feeling of being in that house.
Jop, I've seen many videos about Fallingwater, but I think yours may be the best. Really outstanding. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you. Really heartwarming to read your appriciation. I always wanted to make the most complete video about Fallingwater, the one that shows all the details. I wanted to make this video because it was always difficult to get an overview of the house : conecting all the pieces of the house together. More videos will come up.
This is exactly the detail I always hoped to see. Thank you so much.
You're welcome! I love to make the videos as complete as possible showing every detail and give people the feeling that they actually have walked through the houses. Most books and videos dont show everything. So your reaction is what I wanted! :)
@@SuperJobbel You succeeded in every way. The way you edited, I didn't lose my place in the house.
@@RaymondCore I love reading your message, because I worked hard to give people a good orientation during the walkthrough of the house. Always great to make other people happy with creative work.
Thank you! Best video explanation and tour of Falling Water I have seen. All inside tours were booked when I went there this week. So this video really filled in the gaps that I missed and makes we wanting to return to see the inside.
You're welcome! I made this video for people who are not able to visit the house for real. Therefore I made the video as complete and detailed as possible. Your reaction is what I wanted: that people enjoyed the beauty of the houses without visiting them. Still I recommend everybody to visit the house for real: no video can compare a real life experience. Your comment stimulates me to make more content: more videos about famous and beautiful houses will come up!
Welcome back!! I prefer your presentation over any I have seen on Fallingwater. I wish so much that this had been the version I saw when I took a class on FLW in college in the late 80s. Can't wait to see what you release next.
Yes, I'm glad to be back! I always wanted to make a full complete overview Fallingwater, more complete tnah any other overview previously released on youtube. The next release is coming up soon, it will be about the Kaufmann Desert House. After that the following 10 videos will be about John Lautner designed homes.
I have to say I love your videos, I won't get to visit I'm sure 95% of the houses you feature and I'll be lucky to actually go inside 1% for a tour, but you make me feel as if I've been there so much more skillfully than any other channel or video or book, or whatever... your videos are the best, and after half a lifetime spent in architecture firms with my love for architecture on the decline, you've managed to remind me why I got into the field in the first place. Btw, I really enjoy that you make an effort to show almost every room in a house even if it's one that would never make it into a book, I find them all interesting, and your efforts are appreciated
Wow, that exact the reason why I make these videos: to give people, who can't visit the houses, give the feeling that they have been there! I like to make the videos as perfect as possible: covering the entire house with all the details. It's really great for me to read all the great comments. It stimulates me to go on. More videos will come up :)
Brilliant ! Such an iconic building and clearly an inspiration to Lautner who in my mind become the next great American Architect after FLW. I've been looking forward to you doing this.. Thank you..
you're welcome. More videos by F.L wright will come up, but first I will finish the serie of videos about houses by J. Lautner.
Thank you for creating this video and sharing this wonderful house
You're welcome! I love to make this videos, more content will come up.
This is the single best video on Fallingwater I have seen.
Oh Thank you! I want to make the videos as complete as possible, showing the entire house with all the details. I'm gonna make overviews about all the houses by Wright, Lautner and Neutra. Your comment stimulates me to make more videos! :)
Thank you very much for putting this video together and posting it. Greatly appreciated.
You're welcome! More videos by Wright will come up.
@@SuperJobbel Awesome!
@@infinphoenix13 Stay tuned! :)
Lovely to come across this.. I used this house in my teaching career many, many times. Such a masterpiece!
Thank you. There were so many videos about this house, but I wanted to made the most complete video : showing every detail and give people the feeling that they walked through the house.
Declared the most beautiful house in the world !! Pure art !!! 👍❤🙋♂️🇭🇷
Greetings to Kroatia from the Netherlands
@@SuperJobbel 👍🙋♂️
Thank you again my friend, I thought we had lost you for a while, but now I understand you were obviously just very busy creating this excellent presentation. Thank you also for showing many aspects of Falling Water not commonly seen, which is refreshing to the usual "hero" views of the building. As always your detailed and passionate understanding of your presentation is intoxicating and I always look forward to viewing the fruits of your endeavours, yet another job well done! G
Yes, the past 5 months I was busy with my personal life ( I had a child and I was very busy with a new job) therefore I hadn't uploaded any new videos. During these months I was preparing a lot of videos ( making drawings, searching for photos, reading info) so now I can upload a whole serie of new videos. The next video about a John Lautner home will come up in two weeks. Good to hear that you like the videos so much: I indeed like to show the houses as complete as possible with all the details and not only the famous photos. Thank you for patience the past 5 months: from now on more videos will be uploaded.
Thank GOD for your inspiring artistry and intelligent educational video productions AND all your efforts in sharing the genius GOD has blessed upon you and FLW!!! @@SuperJobbel
Thank you for this very informative and well put together video! Even as a fan of Fallingwater and Wright in general, this covered a lot of aspects I hadn't known about it yet.
Nice to read that you liked the video so much. I wanted to make the most complete video, capturing all the details: so great that succeeded in giving you extra information about my favorite home.
A wonderful analyses. Thank you.
Beautiful.. thank you for the tour. Ive been fascinated by this house for years. Id love to visit one day
Yes you should do. Great that you liked the video. More tours about other F.L Wright's will come up.
thanks for doing this - I always wanted to see the house, and this is as close to it as I will ever get :) *******
That's the reason why I made this video: to show the complete house to people who never could visit it. Your comment gives me the feeling that I succeeded with the video. Thank you! I'm gonna make more videos about the houses by F.L.W.
This isn't just FLW's masterpiece, it's clearly also yours! Terrific job!
Thank you, I like to explore and to show the houses in this way. More houses coming up, the next video will be about the Kaufmann Desert House.
@@SuperJobbel Excellent! Looking forward to it.
You delivered as promised and no disappointment here. Frank is a certifiable maniac with this house. He must have been in order to do something so spectacular. I've been to this house and your video is the closest thing to being there. The only thing missing is the smell of the woods. For those who are reading this, I hope you didn't gloss over the segment at the end about John Lautner. Jop (the master of this videos) introduced me to John by way of video and I have been hooked ever since. Lautner takes FLW into another dimension; much the same as FLW, but with beautifully striking overtones. Please keep them coming Jop!
Yes, the smell of the forest can't be simulated in a video. Sorry for that..haha. I hope that many people see the influence of Wright on the works by Lautner. I'm very honoured by you're thankfull message. Many more videos will come up. :)
To the video maker: thank you so incredibly much for putting this together! It is, by far (I think?), the most detailed look into Fallingwater that I have yet encountered! This residence is absolutely the most magnificent testament to architecture that has ever been produced (IMHO)! Frank Lloyd Wright and his creation of this masterpiece literally inspired me to become an architect as soon as I understood what the term meant (i.e. 12 yrs old, and I'm 41 now)! I cannot express in words the beauty and awe that this dichotomy of nature and human ingenuity espouses, and I want more than anything to finally go see it in person---like a personal Pilgrimage of sorts I suppose?! My wife and I have some dear friends up in the PA area that we could potentially visit for Christmas this year (2023), and I just looked on the website, but they are not doing private tours now! *sad face!* I don't care how much it costs, it would mean so much to me in my life journey to get the full experience of Fallingwater at last.....if there is any way that you could put me in touch with the right person(s) to arrange this, I would be eternally grateful! Many blessings to you!
Your reaction is what I wanted to achieve: I made this video for people wo can not visit the house: the show them how the house looks from inside. Giving them the complete overview and showing all the details: making the ultimate walktrhough. It's really great to read that everybody appriciates my video, I will make more videos about other design by Frank Lloyd Wright and I already made a lot of content about John Lautner. I new video about Case Study House 22 will be uploaded this friday. You should definitely visit Fallingwater if you have the opportunity: no videos can compare to the actual experience. Also great to read that you became an architect. Till the next video.
Taj ? Fare thee well.
I have a coffee table book on Falling Water.
I feel like I have been there, in another lifetime. I just love it so much! Thank you for taking me back there.❤
You're welcome! i like giving people the feeling that they walked through the house. Creating a flued walk through.
I live in Pennsylvania. About a half of an hour from Falling Water. To call Bear Run a 'River' made me smile, as it is more of a mountain stream. (Though in the spring when the snow melts the stream can become a raging torrent.) It is magnificent to see the house and stream in person.
Yes, this video never can capture the atmosphere of the house in reality. Next time I shall Bear Run call a stream ;)
Ty for this I’ve never seen the inside! Masterpiece
Therefore I started this channel: to give an inside look of the houses. Many designs don't have much photos of the inside.
Excellent presentation of the house. Thank you very much. Now I have a reason to visit Pensylvania.
You're welcome! More videos will come up! You should definitely visit the house in reality: no video equals the real life experience.
you have Well documented this masterpiece , hoping to see more
Thank you! I have documented many houses by John Lautner and one house by Richard Neutra and the Sturges House by FLW, check out the other videos on the channel.
@@SuperJobbel i surely will
Ìncredible detail in the display of information. Exactly what this peace of architecture deserves. Great job!
Thank you! Great you appreciated the video. I like to make the videos as complete as possible. More content will come up.
A masterful presentation. Superb. Thank you.
thank you very much. Really great to read that you liked the videos so much. This stimulates me to make more videos. I want to make the videos as complete and detailed as possible, so when you say that they are ''superb'' , I get he feeling that I succeeded in doing so! :)
Fantastic. Such vision.
This was absolutely fabulous. Thank you
You're welcome! more videos about F.L Wright will come up.
Absolutely Magnificent Video! And what an Amazing House!!!
Thank you very much! really good to hear that you liked the video so much. I'm gonna make more videos about FLW houses.
An incredible piece of work. This man had a gift that is truly one of a kind. No one since has designed anything that comes close to his genius.
100% agree with you. thanks for your comment. More videos will come up.
Another fantastic video Jop (aka Antonio Banderas).
One of the best falling water overviews I have seen!
You're welcome! I wanted to make the most complete overview of Fallingwater, showing all the details. Its really funny that you compare me with Antonio Banderas because I don't see no similarities at all! . Haha! But still I see it as a compliment.
A masterpiece, indeed! Thank you for sharing, this.
You're welcome! I made this video because I believed this masterpiece always deserved a complete overview. Capturing every detail.
Very well done! Quite informative....
Thank You! More informative videos will come up. :)
Amazing video!! Expanding to Wright's work is an excellent move. I have visited Taliessen West, many of his apprentices studied there. Other protogés of Wright would also be interesting to profile.
Thank you that you liked the video. Yes I will make videos about other students of Wright in the future, but first finish all the houses by Lautner and then the masterpieces by Wright.
@@SuperJobbel I love your videos and how you break down the construction of each build. The Case Study houses might also be interesting topics.
Thank you for ev ery videos your channel. You are the best!
Thank you for your comment. Great to read that you liked the video, your reaction stimulates me to make more videos.
This is one of my favourite homes,I often wondered what was inside thank you for posting such an informative video....I wonder how cold it would be in Winter, with all that stone, sitting on top of water, single pane glass, open plan design and only relying on the wood fires....I'd have huge fluffy rugs everywhere....my favourite spot is the hidden dipping pool under the house....one day I'd like to visit during each season to experience the essence of the home
Great to read that you like the video. You should definitely visit the house someday but I don't know if you can jump in the hidding dipping pool ;) I made the video for those who can't visit and I wanted to show the complete house with every detail. The house is extremely cold in the winther, that's why Kaufmann comissioned a 2nd vacation home in Palm Springs, which is equaly. beautiful. I made also a video about this house: ua-cam.com/video/tmWOjSpeLgk/v-deo.html
Brilliant and incredibly beautiful
Thank you for your hard work!
You're welcome! I like making these videos, more content will come up.
I wanted to visit this house but I haven’t done so. I visited Guggenheim museum in NYC, Westcott house Springfield in Ohio and Rosenbaum House museum in Florence Alabama. This video is well made and provides many important information.
Thanks! great to hear that you liked the videos so much. I made it for people who aren't able to visit the house or who have never visited it. Giving them the feeling that they walked trough the house.
Kaufmann's was the go to store in Pgh at one time. Brings back memories of growing up and visiting Falling Water.
Yes unfortunately the store dienst exist anymore. Luckily the Fallingwater house will stay forever!
18:02 Thanks, always wondered what that was by the fireplace!
Yes, therefore I like to make the videos as complete as can be: to answer all possible questions. Also nice to see that the main character from Blade Runner watches the video ;)
Thank you. I enjoyed the vid.
I visited here about 30 years ago and this is a wonderfully detailed video that reminded me of the wonders and complexity of this consrruction from all angles in a very easy-to-follow way - particularly when following the tour with the floor plan. Thank you!
I recall my favorite part of the tour in my youth as being a natural spring that was incorporated into the house interior. If my memory is correct, it was the natural rock formation at the end of the covered bridge 34:08. Can anyone else testify to this or did I dream it(!)? I thought it was a very clever idea in the theme of combining form & nature without disruption and something I've always carried with me in that inspiration. 💚
Yes there is some water dripping through the rocks, this is a indeed a small natural springs and it's indeed at the rocks you see at 34:08. I discovered this piece of information only after I uploaded the video otherwise I would have included the information in the video.
Great to hear that you like the video so much. I want to give the people the feeling that they walk through and show every possible detail. (Unravel the complexity of the design) Your reaction confirms to me in doing so :) ! More videos about FLW and John Lautner designs will come up.
@@SuperJobbel Thank you so much for confirming for me - I knew I didn't dream it! 😄
What an amazing presentation,
thank you John Lautner ❤
Great to read that you liked my video, but my name is not John Lautner. John Lautner is my favorite architect, about him I made most of my video. O recommend you to check some of the John Lautner videos on this channel because his design are really amazing.:)
Visiting Falling Water in Autumn is an unforgettable experience. I was so impressed with the tour and how organized everything was. :o)
Great! I visited Fallignwater only in the summer so I can only imagine how it's to be in Fallingwater in the Autumn.
Read about it for over 20 years looked at thousand of pictures was pretty sure it would be a let down when I first saw it but it will blow you away.
I’ve been fortunate to visit Falling Water twice, once in winter and once in spring. During one tour, the docent spent his childhood summers at the house. Bucket list achievement with visits to Falling Water, Kentuck Knob, Falling Rock and Taliesin West. His work is amazing.
Yes , everyone should visit Fallingwater, it's amazing, no video can compare to a real life experience visiting the house.
Thank you! I was enthralled from beginning to end by your helpful graphics and detailed descriptions, without which I would not have seen, as you and architectural enthusiasts see. It is a most stunning home perched over the river and waterfall. Though I find it puzzling the imbalance of entertainment spaces and 3.5 bedrooms for overnight guests. It was certainly not money well spent, considering the price of common 3 bedroom brick homes in the 1930s when labourers were very cheap. Add to that the major cost of rebuilding the base to hopefully withstand water etc after several years. Water from nature wins everytime. No wonder the son unloaded it. The design is wonderful but its location makes it a money pit.
Like scientists or computer programmers, architects need to know that just because you can doesn't mean you should!
Great to hear that you like the video so much. It was a challenge for me to capture the house as complete as possible. Yes, you're right: the house is beautifull but extremely expensive to maintain and very unsustainable. Making it more an artwork than an actual home.
What a beautiful house
Great Video, 1 minor addition, the siting of the house is to do with the orientation as the waterfall was on the north side of the river, he had to place it there so the sun would hit the house most of the day.
Cantilevers started sagging as early as 1937 due to construction defects and the fact that the living room cantilever was holding up Liliane's terrace above partly (you can see 4 steel thick bars in the south living room window), this daring extension of Liliane's terrace overhanging the living room is one of the major visual elements of the house.
Great Work Joop.
Thank you for your helpfull and interesting feedback! - I didn't knew that placing of the house by the waterfall had to do with the hitting of sunlight. - I was aware that the house started to bend already from 1937, but I decided not to include it in the video because the video was already 40 minutes long, and I hadn't enough photos of the construction to illustrate my voice over. So I summorised it with '' the house is very unsustainable and it needs a lot of maintenance, in 2012 the concrete was so worn out that an entire needed to be placed under the house''. This made the video a lot of faster. The cantilevering above the terrace is off course an obvious reason for the bending of the house, so I thought the audience would figure out that by themselves.
As a young architect who used to visit the house while the Kauffman's still owned it when they were absent. I take issue with the reason for the sag. There was a structural engineer for the project who actually left out some required steel in that particular beam. I believe he left a significant donation in his will to correct the problem. The world famous engineer, Bob Sillman, who designed the structural repairs was a friend who opened his original office on the floor above ours in Carnegie Hall. He actually left most of the sag in place since it had become iconic. Thanks for a wonderful wonderful presentation which brings to life the amazing intricacies of this design.
Thank You,its so Nice
Mooie presentatie, Dank!
Graag gedaan! :)
Great video.
very good. I have a lot of knowledge about this👍🙏
Thank you!
Amazing video
Thank you!
Excellent!
Wow. Great research.
Thank you!
relaxing ambience..
Several years ago i toured Fallingwater during the Autumn time as well as the other Wright designed home nearby.
In autumn Fallingwater looks beautifull, which Wright house nearby did you visited?
So great...
I worked at Seven Springs ski resort one year in 1976. We took people from the resort for tours of Fallingwaters. I was able to join the tours many times. That’s when I fell in love with the house and it surroundings. I still remember the sounds iand smells of the forest. The tour guides said the stairs to the water created natural air conditioning. The desk cutout in the bedrooms desktop were made so the windows could open. It was said to be Wrights one error.
Sounds like a great job! Working at a ski resort and then taking people for tours to Fallingwater. You've visited the house many times and that makes me jealous! I've visited it only once, but it was unforgetable experience and I took many pictures which showed up in the video.
Thank you 💜🌎☮️
You're welcome! Morev videos come up! :)
I went out with an Architecture student back in the day. She went there on a kind of pilgrimage and said that every single detail in the house was a work of art. It changed the way she designs anything.
One day I’ll visit too….
You should definitely visit this house. My video gives a complete overview still it never equalizes the feeling of space and natural atmoshpere of the real house. Fallingwater is full of itneresting details: I could make two or three other videos about all the details that I've missed in this 40 minute video.
I can't imagine undertaking the responsibility of doing the restoration on such a masterpiece!
Yes me neither. It's an enormous task, I rather like making videos about the house.
timeless design, still looks great now
sweet video
I've found that most of my best work has been done under great pressure and time limitations. It seems that Wright did also. I imagine this is true of many successful people.
Yes that's true. Most art is made under great pressure and limited time constraints. ''Pressure makes diamonds'' as they say.
@@SuperJobbel Well said.
I swear that house could start its own religion.
It has!
Are you sure it hasn't? I know people who have been worshipping it for decades!
I really like your comment -- very well said.
Every American should make a pilgrimage to the site, sit where you can see the house from across the water,and meditate.

Lloyd wright loved and incorporated rectagonal lines and designs.
Yes the work of FL Wright's son is more straight lines. i like som of his designs to!
Like everything you pursue and present, this is so well done. I never knew about the toilet off the interior front entrance. Also, I didn't know about the service hatch between the kitchen and dinning room. I would love to have seen interior views of the 2nd floor bathroom ceiling with 3rd floor terrace monitor. Keep up great work!
Thank you! Good to hear that you really enjoyed the video. A little late reaction of me but i was very busy this week. To answer your questions: - the toilet is removed nowadays, so when you visit the house you won't see the toilet anymore - the service hatch is aways closed when you visit the house. - unfortunately I didn't had any photos of the skylight in the bahtroom on the 2nd floor. .......More videos about FLW houses will come up.
Ive visited....its SENSATIONAL

Thank you for this thoughtful referential video source. It is chronologically three dimensional, understandable and thorough in its presentation; worthy of its subject. When I considered pursuing architecture in the mid sixties the imported Ivy league professors installed to run that department made it clear that FLW was no longer fashionable; his work considered extravagant, romantic and hence, ephemeral; irrelevant to a centrally planned, densely populated civilization with little room to accommodate the pursuits of self-obsessed dreamers such as Wright or the affluent who patronize them. Remove the image of those dreams and resource consumption will find its limits. Considering the direction America is currently headed I cannot bet that Falling Water will be standing even fifty years from now. The recent teardown and accompanying applause of an intact Craig Elwood inspired residence sold off-market exemplifies the cause for my concern.
Thank you for your heartwarming reaction! Great to read that you liked the video and your comment stimulate me to make more content! It's indeed true that between 1950 and 1990 FLW was no longer fashionable and ''international style'' was the dominant force in architecture. Architects like Neutra, Mies van der Rohe and LeCorbusier became more famous and Wright and Lautner less. But since the 1990's there appriciation is growing. Still they deserve more recognition: therefore I started this channel to bring more attention to their work. I didn't knew the Graig Elwood House was demolished. Unfortunately
