It was in the process of falling into the water due to FLW's flawed engineering and lack of adequate rebar in crucial cantilevered sections, extra rebar that the builder advocated but arrogant Write rejected. Repairs were made to save it. Not to pick on FLW but architects are not engineers and should know their limitations.

Architects are not generally engineers but they often play that role. FLW made some serious engineering mistakes, including "Falling Water" house. I frequently see it today on custom houses in the form of gross over designing when using steel, they have no idea what they are doing w structural steel typically.

@elizabetherne556 Good point about flat roofs, those are always terrible. Architects are NOT engineers, it show in FLWs results and I've seen in many times in recent decades for US custom homes.

@DeanStephen Oh yeah, think you are correct, thanks. Just remember it being spectacular and unfortunate result.

How about the spectacular Union Station in New York, IDK who was to blame for that nor the impetuous, but it was widely seen as a massive mistake.

@nedludd7622 Mixed bag w Nat Parks, mostly good but not places I want to spend much time in, overrun with tourist while actual wild areas are far more compelling due to lack of ppl. Yosemite, for example, spectacular and must see but NOT a wilderness experience, much of the Sierras are wilderness designated and actual wilderness experience because one must hike for days to get deep into it, eliminating the masses. Simply banning roads, development and vehicles does wonders.
