An Image of a Great Piece of Architecture

This building is entitled Falling Water, it is designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, and is located at Ohiopyle, Pennsylvania in America.
This in my beliefs is one of the greatest pieces of architecture due to the facts that this building is designed and works as one with its surrounding environment, which consists of thick shrubs, trees water fall and a river bed. The views that the surrounding environment has to offer have been successfully captured with the design of the building. The building to is built upon and within rocks and appears to be as one with the environment.
The building was constructed in the late 30's, but yet appears to have been built recently due to the clever design and use of material making it a building which has not aged, but proves to stand modern through the ages.
Through this building the famous, Frank Lloyd Wright has achieved what all architects aim to achieve, a building which works with its surroundings,a non aging building and an architectural marvel.
