2 Frank Lloyd Wright –“Fallingwater”, House
for Edgar Kaufmann, Bear Run, Pennsylvania, 1935-39. (Jonathan Hale)
Architecture
is a vital penetration of a multi-layered, mysterious, evolved and structured
reality. Again and again it demands recognition of the genius loci out of which
it grows. Architecture is no longer a two-dimensional impression but is
becoming experience of corporeal and spatial reality, achieved by walking
around and entering into … The subject-object relationship has been done away
with … Architecture is the enveloping and sheltering the individual, and hence a fulfillment and a deepening.18

built environment became significant in the reassessments of modernism that
took place in the following decades.
