FallingWater

Last year during the beginning of Fall, me and my friends decided to take a road trip to FallingWater, designed by F. L. Wright. Even though it was my second year in the States, it was the first time I paid attention to this weather. The change in the color of leaves on the East Coast has its own charm. Our trip couldn't have been scheduled at a more perfect time. The weather was transitioning beautifully (aka leaves were turning every warm shade on the palate); it had only been a few days since I bought a new phone and was excited to see the fancy world of Apple, goes without saying I took over 200 photos and videos. We drove from NJ after work on Friday and reached PA right before midnight as our tour was scheduled next day morning. At the end of our tour we had extra time, on recommendation of some people visiting from Pittsburg we decided to grab lunch near Carnegie Melon University and check out the neighborhood.

FallingWater is one of a kind. It is one of those masterpieces in which the architect has thoughtfully designed the entire campus from macro to micro level; from landscapes to interior spaces every element is crafted carefully. Through nature you are indirectly introduced to the house by walking slowly for five minutes in the beginning. It was one of the sights I will never forget, the breeze blew orange, yellow, red leaves from the trees across the entire house soon as you enter the perimeter. The rest is history. The best part is at the end of the tour, where you finally the see the house, in its entirety and understand the meaning of its name. It was a humbling experience. There are some places on Earth that you have to experience yourself, your words and photos will not do justice to its beauty which is why I am selfish about sharing more than enough photos here.
