This is an image of the well known house, Fallingwater, built for the Kaufmann Family in 1937. Frank Lloyd Wright was the architect and through this and various other notable works has become one of the most accomplished and well known architects of the modern era. Originally it was built as a summer house for the Kaufmann Family and is located in Pennsylvania. I believe this is an image of great architecture not only because it has an amazing visual impact of being able to suit it's surrounding and its bold vertical and horizontal lines but also because this building was built in 1937 and would have proved quite a feat to be able to accomplish this today let alone 75 years ago. It is now property of the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy and is an international landmark.
