The Restoration of Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater
This course is no longer active. AEC Daily will not report completion information for this course.
Fallingwater, named the best all time work of architecture by AIA members in 1991, started experiencing problems shortly after construction. A novel structural system combined with constant interaction with water meant that, in order to maintain this national treasure, major restoration would be required. This course reviews the issues experienced by the building and the path to restoration that was taken.
