Fallingwater is a house designed by the architect Frank Lloyd Wright in 1935. Situated in the Mill Run section of Stewart township, in the Laurel Highlands of southwest Pennsylvania, about 70 miles southeast of Pittsburgh in the United States, it is built partly over a waterfall on the Bear River.
The house was designed as a weekend home for the family of Liliane Kaufmann and her husband, Edgar J. Kaufmann, Sr., owner of Kaufmann's Department Store in Pittsburgh.
Fallingwater, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is hailed internationally as a masterpiece of 20th century architecture. Fallingwater was also named the “best all-time work of American architecture” in a poll of members of the American Institute of Architects. Designed in 1935 by renowned American architect Frank Lloyd Wright, Fallingwater is one of Wright’s most widely acclaimed works and best exemplifies his philosophy of organic architecture: the harmonious union of art and nature. Since 1963, the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy has owned and preserved Fallingwater so that the public can tour, experience and be inspired by this example of American architecture and history.
Moscow, Russia
Also known as the "fairy tale house", this Neo-Russian style mansion was built in 1907 with idea "Moscow spirit and tradition hand in hand with the modern demands". The most famous artists and architects participated in the competition for the best house design, but the victory was won by the lesser-known Sergei Malyutin (artist) and Nikolai Zhukov (architect).

Description of Historic Place
The Toronto Power Generating Station National Historic Site of Canada is located on the banks of the Niagara River just above Niagara Falls. The Power House is a rectangular building measuring 132 metres by 30 metres with an imposing classical façade. Its symmetrical plan consists of a central block with a heavy Ionic portico flanked by two long Ionic colonnades. The Power House contains the generators and stands above the other principal engineering components of the installation that include a submerged dam, penstocks, and the wheel pit housing the turbines, and the tailrace tunnel. Official recognition refers to the building and structures on the legal lot at the time of designation (1983).
Heritage Value
The Toronto Power Generating Station was designated a national historic site of Canada in 1983 because:
- this generating station was the first wholly Canadian-owned hydro-electric facility at Niagara Falls;
- the powerhouse is an early and unusual application of Beaux-Arts design to an industrial site in Canada.
The Toronto Power Generating Station, associated with development of hydro-electric power in Canada, was a significant large-scale engineering achievement in its time and was important in the development of business, industry and technology in Ontario and Canada. The Generating Station and Power House was built for the Electrical Development Company of Ontario to supply hydro-electric power to Toronto. The installation was begun in 1903 with the Power House designed in the formal Beaux-Arts style by architect E.J. Lennox to complement the majestic setting. The Toronto Power Generating Station was opened in 1906, and was purchased by Ontario Hydro in 1922. It operated until 1974.
Character-Defining Elements
The key elements that contribute to the heritage character of this site include:
- the prominent location on the bank of the Niagara River above the Niagara Falls;
- the river-front setting with the building as a component of a scenic, landscaped public parkland;
- the large, flat-roofed, symmetrical massing;
- the steel-frame construction clad in brick and Indiana limestone;
- the classical Beaux-Arts style main west façade that includes a projecting central block with a heavy Ionic portico flanked by two long Ionic colonnades;
- the austere east, rear elevation facing the river that is faced with plain terracotta brick and simply decorated with a row of shallow strip pilasters;
- the regularly placed windows, and the large bow window across the north elevation;
- the Power House’s interior configuration, features and finishes, including the central entrance, the grand foyer finished with marble walls and floor tiles, the enriched cornices, and the elaborated architraves;
- the configuration, features and finishes of the work room, public waiting room and board room, and also the glazed industrial brick of the generator room;
- the principal engineering components of the installation that include a submerged dam, penstocks, the wheel pit housing the turbines, the tailrace tunnel and the power house with generators.

The Robie House, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright for his client Frederick C. Robie, is considered one of the most important buildings in the history of American architecture. Designed in Wright's Oak Park studio in 1908 and completed in 1910, the building inspired an architectural revolution. Its sweeping horizontal lines, dramatic overhangs, stretches of art glass windows and open floor plan make it a quintessential Prairie style house. Although it was designed one hundred years ago, the building remains a masterpiece of modern architecture.

The Old Mill House designed by landscape architect William H. Kessler is a 1926 replica of Perryman's Mill built by the Jemison Companies. It originally operated as a tea room, but the tea room closed during the Great Depression. It has since been converted into a private residence. Located on the bank of Shades Creek, it is a welcoming site as you enter the affluent suburb of Mountain Brook.
These models (two micro worlds, one chest) are one of the prizes in the 12×12 Vignette category of this year’s The Summer Joust. So get building and you may end up owning them!
The idea of a box that contained micro worlds inside was sparked by seeing Rod Gillies’ fabulous Kingdom in a Box again.
I also liked the idea of there being numerous worlds so you can swap between which scene is on display. Whichever you choose fits inside even with the lid completely closed.

The Sonneveld House, designed by architects Leendert van der Vlugt and Johannes Andreas Brinkman, for Albertus Sonneveld, director of the Van Nelle Factory, is a clear example of the principles of the House Machine theorized by Le Corbusier and represented in the Netherlands by the Nieuwe Bouwen, the Dutch branch of functionalism. It is a comfortable house as a machine, designed around its inhabitants, efficient and hygienic, thanks to new materials can provide light, air and needed to live in complete psychophysical wellbeing space, thus responding to the five principles that Le Corbusier stipulated in his book “Towards a New Architecture” in 1921.
Sonneveld House illustrates how the influence of the new trends in architecture were received by the upper middle class.
The $4 billion Oculus station house, designed by Santiago Calatrava, consists of white ribs that interlock high above the ground. The interior of the station house contains two underground floors, which house part of the Westfield World Trade Center mall. The transportation hub connects the various modes of transportation in Lower Manhattan, from the Fulton Center in the east to the Battery Park City Ferry Terminal in the west, through the station house. The hub contains connections to various New York City Subway stations, including Chambers Street–World Trade Center/Park Place/Cortlandt Street on the 2, 3, A, C, E, N, R, and W trains and WTC Cortlandt on the 1 train. It is the fifth-busiest transportation hub in the New York metropolitan area.
Construction of the Oslo Opera House, designed by architects Snøhetta, started in 2003 and the building was completed in 2007, ahead of schedule and US$50 million under its budget!
The Samuel Cupples House was built for was built for Samuel Cupples a wealthy St. Louis entrepreneur who had built his business Cupples Woodenware starting in the 1840's and became a millionaire by age of thirty. This house designed in a Richardsonian Romanesque style by architect Thomas Annan was completed in 1890. The house cost over $500,000 to construct, a very expensive home for that era. The Cupples family lived in the house until 1919. The house was then used as the headquarters of Brotherhood of Railroad Telegraphers until 1946 when it became the possession of Saint Louis University. The building was used for many uses and was threatened with demolition. Due to the efforts of Father Maurice McNamee, S.J. the house was preserved and renovated. It is now used as an art museum and is open for tours.

The original State House, designed by Irish architect James Hoban between 1786 and 1790, shared architectural similarities with the White House, which Hoban also designed for President George Washington. Unfortunately, the old Capitol building was set ablaze by U.S. Army troops under General Sherman's command during the Burning of Columbia in 1865.
Construction of the new South Carolina State House began in 1855 but was interrupted by the Civil War in 1865. The main structure was completed in 1875. Architect Frank McHenry Niernsee supervised most of the interior work from 1888 to 1891, while the exterior in the neoclassical style was completed by architect John R. Niernsee in 1907. The building underwent further renovations in 1959 and 1998.
In 1976, the State House was designated a National Historic Landmark for its significance during the post-Civil War Reconstruction era.
The Nathan G. Moore House also known as the Moore-Dugal Residence is a house designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. The house was built one block south of Wright's home and studio at 333 Forest Avenue in the Chicago suburb of Oak Park, Illinois. It was originally completed in 1895 in the Tudor Revival style at the request of client Nathan Moore. Wright obliged his client's wishes, but long after disliked the house for its adherence to historical styles.
A 1922 fire gave Wright the opportunity to redesign the house. The structure was completely rebuilt above the first floor in a manner in keeping with Wright's other works of the late 1910s and early 1920s. While the new design stayed evocative of Tudor architecture, the house was heavily ornamented by details of Sullivanesque, Mayan, and other exotic origins. Wright’s second scheme remains largely intact today and the house continues to be a private residence despite a brief period as a tour home.

The German architects Becker & Baedecker designed this house in Huai Hai Road. I need to check but roughly at 1912.
Cragfont is a beautiful Georgian-style mansion located on a craggy eminence above Bledsoe’s Creek seven miles east of Gallatin. James and Susan Black Winchester had the house designed and built between 1798-1802. The masons built the two-story house of gray, rough-finished native limestone quarried near the site. When completed, it was the most elegant residence on the Tennessee frontier, the first to reflect the grandeur and style of the fine eighteenth-century homes of Maryland and Virginia.
Cragfont was the home of General James Winchester who was a protagonist of the American Revolution, a pioneer in the Middle Tennessee wilderness, a soldier against indigenous Americans, a brigadier general in the War of 1812, and co-founder of the City of Memphis. In the War of 1812, Winchester's troops were a part of the unsuccessful American campaign to invade Canada. He was defeated near Frenchtown, was captured, and marched with some 550 Tennesseans and Kentuckians to Quebec, where they were imprisoned for 15 months. He returned to his home in April, 1814, but soon left to assume command of the Mobile District. After General Andrew Jackson's victory at New Orleans, Winchester returned to Cragfont for good on February 12, 1815. Once there, he resumed pursuit of his agricultural interests, became a leader in the general upgrading of the state, and engaged in land speculation, which led to his fortune. He died at home on July 26, 1826. His wife Susan lived there until her death in 1862
In 1958 the Tennessee Historical Commission acquired Cragfont and commenced a full restoration. Cragfont was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on February 26, 1970 and was amended in 1977 to include a property extension.

Art Nouveau (/ˌɑːr(t) nuːˈvoʊ/ AR(T) noo-VOH, French: [aʁ nuvo] ⓘ; lit. 'New Art') is an international style of art, architecture, and applied art, especially the decorative arts. It was often inspired by natural forms such as the sinuous curves of plants and flowers.[1] Other characteristics of Art Nouveau were a sense of dynamism and movement, often given by asymmetry or whiplash lines, and the use of modern materials, particularly iron, glass, ceramics and later concrete, to create unusual forms and larger open spaces.[2] It was popular between 1890 and 1910 during the Belle Époque period,[3] and was a reaction against the academicism, eclecticism and historicism of 19th century architecture and decorative art.
One major objective of Art Nouveau was to break down the traditional distinction between fine arts (especially painting and sculpture) and applied arts. It was most widely used in interior design, graphic arts, furniture, glass art, textiles, ceramics, jewellery and metal work. The style responded to leading 19-century theoreticians, such as French architect Eugène-Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc (1814–1879) and British art critic John Ruskin (1819–1900). In Britain, it was influenced by William Morris and the Arts and Crafts movement. German architects and designers sought a spiritually uplifting Gesamtkunstwerk ('total work of art') that would unify the architecture, furnishings, and art in the interior in a common style, to uplift and inspire the residents.[2]
The first Art Nouveau houses and interior decoration appeared in Brussels in the 1890s, in the architecture and interior design of houses designed by Paul Hankar, Henry van de Velde, and especially Victor Horta, whose Hôtel Tassel was completed in 1893.[4][5][6] It moved quickly to Paris, where it was adapted by Hector Guimard, who saw Horta's work in Brussels and applied the style to the entrances of the new Paris Métro. It reached its peak at the 1900 Paris International Exposition, which introduced the Art Nouveau work of artists such as Louis Tiffany. It appeared in graphic arts in the posters of Alphonse Mucha, and the glassware of René Lalique and Émile Gallé.
From Britain, Belgium and France, Art Nouveau spread to the rest of Europe, taking on different names and characteristics in each country (see Naming section below). It often appeared not only in capitals, but also in rapidly growing cities that wanted to establish artistic identities (Turin and Palermo in Italy; Glasgow in Scotland; Munich and Darmstadt in Germany; Barcelona in Catalonia, Spain), as well as in centres of independence movements (Helsinki in Finland, then part of the Russian Empire).
By 1914, with the beginning of the First World War, Art Nouveau was largely exhausted. In the 1920s, it was replaced as the dominant architectural and decorative art style by Art Deco and then Modernism.[7] The Art Nouveau style began to receive more positive attention from critics in the late 1960s, with a major exhibition of the work of Hector Guimard at the Museum of Modern Art in 1970.[8]
Naming
The term Art Nouveau was first used in the 1880s in the Belgian journal L'Art Moderne to describe the work of Les Vingt, twenty painters and sculptors seeking reform through art. The name was popularized by the Maison de l'Art Nouveau ('House of the New Art'), an art gallery opened in Paris in 1895 by the Franco-German art dealer Siegfried Bing. In Britain, the French term Art Nouveau was commonly used, while in France, it was often called by the term Style moderne (akin to the British term Modern Style), or Style 1900.[9] In France, it was also sometimes called Style Jules Verne (after the novelist Jules Verne), Style Métro (after Hector Guimard's iron and glass subway entrances), Art Belle Époque, or Art fin de siècle. Wikipedia
Art Nouveau is known by different names in different languages: Jugendstil in German, Stile Liberty in Italian, Modernisme in Catalan, and also known as the Modern Style in English. The style is often related to, but not always identical with, styles that emerged in many countries in Europe and elsewhere at about the same time. Their local names were often used in their respective countries to describe the whole movement.
