From the Paper
"In the 1930’s Edgar Kaufman, a department store owner, commissioned architect Frank Lloyd Wright to build a summer house for Kaufman’s family on a plot of land in Ohio Pyle, Pa. The land is set in the woods, with a small river running through it, and plenty of rocky ledges, several of which create waterfalls. The Kaufman’s had imagined a house set downstream from the waterfalls, at a point where the falls could be viewed from below. However, their architect was a man of great creativity and genius, and it was his idea to build the house directly above the falls, so that it actually overhung them."

Wright had an organic vision of architecture and of its relation to the time in which it was practiced as well, as can be seen from a statement he made in 1940:
Architecture is beginning, always beginning. It was not made by the Greeks nor by the Romans. It wasn't even made in the Georgian Period. It is something that has to be made afresh all the time, as life, as growth changes.
