Milena Velba - Car Wash

The Fallingwater as if you were there ...

Kasperg Maps that generally performs custom maps for the game Half-Life 2 , created a virtual model of the House the cascade of Frank Lloyd Wright.

For the record, the House of the cascade (or Fallingwater Edgar Kaufmann house) is a house built for the businessman Edgar Kaufmann between 1935 and 1939 according to plans American architect Frank Lloyd Wright . It is situated between the villages of Mill Run and Ohiopyle, Pennsylvania United States along Bear River Run.

Frank Lloyd Wright is one of the first to create cantilevers and terraces to open house on the nature because the environment is a highlight of its architecture. The rock is everywhere inside the house and retaining walls are stone. is a real "shack" Robinson fortunate and remarkable architectural gesture.

At school, I loved this building and analyzing the virtual model (*), although it does not hyper-realism can better appreciate the "genius Architectural "FLW.

Hoping one day to visit it in person ...

(*) Warning: the video is not very fluid (like a video game) so slight pain in heart at the end of the virtual tour ...
