法蘭克·洛伊·萊特 Frank Lloyd Wright，美國建築師、室內設計師、作家、教育家。 萊特是20世紀上半葉最有影響的建築師之一，設計了超過1000個建築設計、其中完成了約500棟建築 。 萊特相信建築的設計應該達到人類與環境之間的和諧，一套他稱之為「有機建築」的哲學。 有機建築最佳的實例便是萊特所設計的落水山莊（1935年），曾被稱許為「美國史上最偉大的建築物」

在萊特超過70年的建築師生涯（1887年－1959年）中，設計了一系列各式建築，包括辦公室、教堂、摩天大樓、旅館和博物館，另外還包含許多室內物品的設計，如傢俱、花窗玻璃。 萊特一生著作二十本書與許多文章，並且是一位受歡迎的講者。 生前就已經廣為人知的萊特，在1991年被美國建築師學會稱之為「最偉大的美國建築師」。http://youtu.be/HuZ0x5Qkgzg

落水山莊（英語：fallingwater），也稱流水別墅，是坐落於賓夕法尼亞州西南部鄉村、匹茲堡東南方50英里處的住宅，1934年由美國建築師法蘭克·洛伊·萊特所設計。房舍建於費耶特縣史都華鎮、阿利根尼山脈的月桂高地，橫跨在熊奔溪的瀑布之上。

落水山莊在完工後不久便被《時代》雜誌稱頌是「萊特最美的傑作」  同時也名列《史密森尼》雜誌28個「一生中一定得造訪一次的地點」

1963年，小卡夫曼把流水別墅捐贈給了西賓州保護委員會。1964年，它作為博物館向公眾開放。其中。1996年，落水山莊被定為國家歷史地標。1991年，美國建築師學會將之名為「美國建築史上最偉大之作」，2007年並躋身美國建築師協會評選的美國最喜愛建築列表第29名。

Living with Fallingwater

Fallingwater was one of those works by Wright that transformed the world's opinion of his art. From seeming a figure of earlier decades he leapt into view as a bold innovator. Increasing recognition flowed his way, and Fallingwater received its share. One portion of it changed my life: John McAndrew of the Museum of Modern Art in New York mounted a one-building exhibition of the house; not long after, I was asked to join the staff there. I moved from Pittsburgh; however, weekends were usually spent at Fallingwater. This was not difficult, for the journey from New York was convenient then. One boarded a sleeping car at the old Pennsylvania Station and after a comfortable night alit at Greensburg, from where it was a fourty-minute drive to the house. Fallingwater, enmeshed in established habits, soon became part of the family's weekend experience. The beauty that resulted cannot be verbalized any more than the elation this beauty elicited; life simply was raised to a new level. When people ask about this there often seems to be an explicit expectation: great architecture, changing the way people live, must change people. Art may arouse dormant sensibilities, and Fallingwater changed us in this way, I believe. Furthermore, it brought new, usually enjoyable associations.

Occasionally large groups were entertained at Fallingwater, and then cottages surviving from earlier days would be pressed into use for quests who could not be housed in the Wright building. More than ten bodies meant buffet meals on the living room terraces or inside; formality was never considered. One early Christmas season we welcomed a ten-day continual flow of visitors. The logistics must have been formidable, but my parents and the augmented help remained in the best of humors. Guests were either on the staff of the Museum of Modern Art - their interest aroused by the exhibition there - or else close to the Museum, particularly through the grand survey of the Bauhaus it presented, John McAndrew acted as our master of revels. Marcel Breuer, the Moholy-Nagys, the Alfred Barrs, and others drifted in, were merry, and departed in deep snow. About half an hour after the Moholys drove off, the butler came in to announce, "Mr. Mahogany is stuck in a ditch!"
