| Historical context | Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) was one of the USA’s most celebrated architects. His long career spanned seven decades, during which time he designed many iconic American buildings, including the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York City, and Fallingwater, a private home located in Pennsylvania. Fallingwater is considered by many critics to be one of the most beautiful buildings in the world, in complete harmony with its natural setting, as well as Wright’s crowning achievement. |
| Production | This model was based on Fallingwater, a house in the Laurel Highlands of Southwest Pennsylvania, designed in 1935 by Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) |
