Spatial Reasoning

Architecture is not based on concrete and steel, and the elements of the soil. It's based on wonder.
– Daniel Libeskind

To create, one must first question everything. - Eileen Gray

Do not wait: the time will never be 'just right'. Start where you stand, and work whatever tools you may have at your command and better tools will be found as you go along.
- Napoleon Hill

At 67 years of age Frank Lloyd Wright was said to be sluggishly avoiding progress on his design for Edgar Kaufmann for over nine months… so when rumors of the client’s physical presence he was said to have drafted the North American masterpiece thru sketches. Mr. Wright seemed to have already stored the concept meticulously in his head vs a centralized cloud based program [no compromise]:

I just shake the buildings out of my sleeves.” The first drawings of Fallingwater—floor plans, perspective, and section—were, essentially, the last. The lines and sweeping angles of the house over the waterfall flowed fast and furious from Wright’s pencil just hours before Kaufmann’s unexpected visit to Taliesin to observe the progress of the design. The name “Fallingwater” was also conceived seemingly on the spot, hand-lettered by the architect across the bottom of the drawings.

Echoing a natural pattern established by its neighboring rock ledges, Wright positioned the house over the falls in a stacked grouping of cantilevered concrete “trays,” each anchored to a central stone chimney mass of locally quarried Pottsville sandstone. Although the house rises more than thirty feet above the falls, the strong horizontal lines and resulting low ceilings reinforce the safe, sheltering effect Wright sought to achieve. Seemingly bringing the natural environment into the house as well as enticing its inhabitants out, the square footage of outdoor terraces of Fallingwater is almost the same as that of its indoor rooms.
