Offered in collaboration with Laurelville Mennonite Church Center and Elderhostel, International, this program explores the many facets of Wright’s contributions to modern architecture with emphasis on two houses in this region. Visit Fallingwater, Wright's best essay on the harmony between architecture and nature. Then visit Kentuck Knob, a private residence blending impeccably with its surroundings as a superb example of Wright's organic architecture.
Fallingwater was a pivotal point in Wright’s career, which spanned two centuries and resulted in over 400 buildings, and many more designs. This overview of Wright’s major works also takes a look at his life, his loves, and his ideals.
