Elements of Visual Rhetoric Embedded in the Architectural Attributes of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater
Frank Lloyd Wright’s architectural design for his world-famous, secluded, Pennsylvania home, Fallingwater, was purported to advance a statement how residential designs need to become more open to mutual feedback from their surrounding environments, in that they need to be eco-friendly enough so as not to waste unnecessary energy and effort in the disruption and mutilation of nature’s currents, both literally and figuratively. After all, mankind was originally fathomed as a mere component of all the infinitesimal complexities of nature, which always appears ultimately to dwarf our sense of sovereignty and superiority over all its subtleties toward regulating and executing both Creation’s and entropy’s conventions. Thus, as an argument of visual rhetoric, man’s homes must look as natural as those of all the wild creatures of this earth, since the home is the most plentiful manmade accommodation of all, over urban settings, congregational facilities, and attractions alike.
