Can't get to Fallingwater? Experience it in 3D
Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater is arguably only one of the most incredible architectural achievements of all time.
And Western Pennsylvania is home to it. Bravo, for us.
There’s no substitute for visiting the iconic site, built in 1935 for the Kaufmann family. And if you haven’t been there — we wonder if you can really count yourself as a true Western Pennsylvanian resident.
But sometimes you can’t always make the road trip to Mill Run in Fayette County. But on those rainy or snowy days, there’s always 3D computer graphics, right?
Enter Cristóbal Vila and his 3D-computer-rendered fly-over showing the environment, structure, and design of the masterpiece.
It’s the next best thing to being there.
If you want to know more about Vila’s video and how he did it, check out his website.
While the video makes you feel like you are really there, we strongly urge you to go for real.
