Frank Lloyd Wright's "Fallingwater"
A Hyper Detailed Architectural Model

"America's Leading Scale Model Builder / Architectural Models 'Fallingwater' Display Model" is the best visual depiction of Frank Lloyd Wright's "Fallingwater" that I've seen. And I'm something of a fan of Wright's work.

Aside from the artistry involved in creating this "museum-quality" model, photos on this page, from many angles and distances, show the complex three-dimensional design of this house at least as well as illustrations in 'serious' architectural texts. "Museum-quality" isn't, in my opinion, an exaggeration in this case.

The model is roughly two feet on a side, and on display at Architectural Models, in Norman, Oklahoma. They're selling a limited number of copies, and the price is "inquire." That translates into my dialect as "if you have to ask, you can't afford it."

Finally, I was surprised to find Toad, of "Frog and Toad are Friends," lounging against a terrace, his left arm resting on the terrace edge, in one photo. It struck me as a charmingly whimsical detail. Then I noticed that Toad's head was a decorative vase: see if you can see the same figure.

Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater: the Movie

Well, not right now. The webmaster of "Etérea" tells us that there was so much demand for the computer graphics movie of Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater, that the site ran out of bandwidth. I hope the movies are available soon. The still pictures on the site are promising.
