Each house in this book represents a high point - and, in the case of Fallingwater, perhaps the high point - of the oeuvre of their designers. They are grandly sited or grandly executed, sometimes both, and they each invite examination into the relationship not just between architecture and nature but also between man and nature. The other houses here are Alvar Aalto’s Villa Mairea in Noormarkku, Finland and Charles and Ray Eames’ House in Pacific Palisades, California. Plans and elevations included.
