Great Piece of Architecture: Fallingwater Building: Frank Lloyd Wright

This is the Fallingwater Building by Frank Lloyd Wright, easily my favourite architect, shortly followed by Gaudi.
I'm an avid fan of all the principles that he works with, particularly organic architecture. I cringe when I hear architects or interior designers say "I wanted to erase all boundaries between the exterior and interior". I don't believe this is possible, but I do believe that to a large extent a building can be designed to complement its' site. Frank Lloyd Wright is the master when it comes to designing buildings that become part of the landscape... buildings that grow from their landscape.
