<p>[QUOTE="all_fakes, post: 619238, member: 55"]I have to agree with some of the comments - Falling Water in particular is beautiful, but Wright had very little experience with reinforced concrete, and argued with the contractors about whether his design was adequate to handle the stresses involved. Many of the cantilevered areas began to sag as soon as the construction forms were removed, because he had not built in an upward angle to allow for deflection and settling.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
