Monticello and Falling Water

Monticello

Falling Water

  After the field trip i believe that falling water is the best designed out of the two locations simply because you can tell that the floor plan and layout and overall design was more thought out and planned carefully rather than just making adaptations as it was being built like with Monticello. Falling Water also has a more interesting construction with the cantilever support system where as Monticello has a more normal Colonial Construction. However for the time period they were built in both houses were appropriate for the design movement at the time so i respect both designs but identify with falling water for Frank Lloyd Wrights modern design.

Here are some floor plans i made from memory of Falling Water
