Arch 243 | Instructor: Louis Molina | Fall 2019 | Woodbury UniversityTeam Member: Frida Figueroa Sanabria , Allan Pollar and Sharareh Kahenassa
This Project examines material performance in the context of a selected building. In teams, we analyzed the design, development, detailing, fabrication and construction of our precedent with a specific emphasis on issues of reflexivity and refinement inherent to the design process .Our precedent was the “Falling Water by Frank Lolyd Wrights” . We built a mockup of a selected part of the Falling Water House. The purpose of this project was to clearly show a method on how two different materials such as concrete, Steel, and glass function together .

“Fallingwater is a great blessing - one of the great blessings to be experienced here on earth, I think nothing yet ever equalled the coordination, sympathetic expression of the great principle of repose where forest and stream and rock and all the elements of structure are combined so quietly that really you listen not to any noise whatsoever although the music of the stream is there. But you listen to Fallingwater the way you listen to the quiet of the country...”
— Frank Lloyd Wright Talk to the Taliesin Fellowship, May 1, 1955”
