This is Frank Lloyd Wrights "Falling Water" in PA. The house is now a historical site, its built right over a water fall, it's also known for being able to bring the nature into the house. What I mean is that some windows are designed with no corner so you can feel open with your surroundings. Wright also made it were the book shelves and desks and so on are built right out of the stone from the house. Wright was a brilliant architecture and will always be a master of design in my book. If your ever up in PA I strongly suggest you make a trip to Falling Waters.

I've seen some of his work before. It really is breath-taking, and has to be seen in person to truly be appreciated. His use of existing elements in creating his structures is very unique in architecture. So often is the first step of a new construct to obliterate whatever inhabited its space beforehand.
I would love to see this in person. I've always found architecture built into nature instead of cutting into nature to build something, more thought out, intersting and healthier for everyone involved. This is gorgeous.
The design behind the architecture is very natural-like. Meaning that the designers made it seem as if it naturaly accured like that. The water fall and rocks dont look man-made at all.
