Frank Lloyd Wrights Fallingwater(Building Block Series)
What do the conditions mean?
Our conditions mean the following:
- New - a brand new book
- Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
- Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
- Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
- Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

On a remote and secluded Appalachian site in the foothills of Western Pennsylvania lies what is undoubtedly the most famous modern home in the United States and, perhaps, the world: Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater. Commissioned in 1934 to design a weekend retreat for Pittsburgh department store magnate Edgar Kaufmann, Wright shocked his client and the architectural establishment with a daring sculptural composition dramatically cantilevered over the white water of Bear Run.
Fallingwater at once expresses Wright's ideal of an "organic" architecture attuned to the rhythms of the natural world while fully embracing the modernist idiom - albeit on his own terms. For Wright, the commission offered a chance to thrust himself back into the forefront of architectural practice. Considered passé by some proponents of the International Style, with Fallingwater Wright proved to all that he remained at the vanguard of the profession.
Ezra Stoller's photographs of Fallingwater have become icons in their own right, illustrating the building's integral connection to the landscape and its striking modern form.
