Who hasn’t heard of it: The house “Fallingwater” by Frank Lloyd Wright, built
from 1936 through 1939. Millions of visitors have pilgrimaged there – to this
house that uniquely combines architecture with nature. Built into the hillside
and over a waterfall, it reflects the cascade of the water, becoming an icon
of modern architecture. The importance of Frank Lloyd Wright in the
development of modern architecture, and especially in American
architecture is immense. He is THE American architect and Fallingwater is
the most representative building in his expansive oeuvre. Built for the
Kaufmann family, Fallingwater has been a house museum since 1964.
We are very happy to welcome Lynda S. Waggoner to present us in Cologne the Iconic house “Fallingwater”
and its architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Ms Waggoner is Director of Fallingwater, Vice President of the Western
Pennsylvania Conservancy and on the board of the Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy as well as the
Iconic Houses Network
The UAA Ungers Archiv für Architekturwissenschaft is a member of Iconic Houses, an international network
connecting architecturally important private houses of the 20th century that are open to the public. After Philip
Johnson’s “Glasshouse” and Mies of the Rohe’s “Villa Tugendhat” it is the third cooperation with UAA Ungers
Archiv für Architekturwissenschaft in which we present American architects and their work with the example of
an iconic house.
After the lecture we will show the movie „Fallingwater, Frank Lloyed Wright’s Masterwork” by Kenneth Love.
Admission is free of charge.
The lecture and movie will be in English.
Please keep in mind that the number of seats is limited!
