Course description: AEC Daily: The Restoration of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater
Fallingwater, named the best all time work of architecture by AIA members in 1991, started experiencing problems shortly after construction. A novel structural system combined with constant interaction with water meant that, in order to maintain this national treasure, major restoration would be required. This course reviews the issues experienced by the building and the path to restoration that was taken.
Recall the history of Fallingwater and Frank Lloyd Wright’s design intent and how this intent relates to the future moisture and structural issues.
Describe the preservation and conservation standards used at Fallingwater.
Describe the structural issues experienced in Fallingwater’s cantilevered terraces.
Explain how the building envelope design resulted in moisture intrusion.
List and describe the extensive restoration steps taken for Fallingwater’s roofs, terraces, and interior and exterior coatings.
Recall lessons learned from Fallingwater regarding adequate investigation at the design phase and designing for longevity.
