for frank lloyd wright fans out there, here’s a great computer-generated animation of his masterpiece, fallingwater. the video is done by animator cristobal vila;
hmm.. the texture expansion animation is not that good though.. but hey, it’s a great masterpiece to be appreciated.
oh and here’s a great story on fallingwater I wish to share with you guys.
look at fallingwater’s cantilevered slab over the waterfall, it was actually structurally impossible. heck, when the construction of the slab was done, the contractors were afraid of removing the scaffolding below the slab. it took frank lloyd wright himself to knock off the scaffolding- yeah, wright risked his life for that piece of building!
so you thought it was easy for one to build one of the best residential house in the states?
p/s: its always a good idea to show a video when youre presenting fallingwater as your research subject
