10 Frank Lloyd Wright Houses You Can Visit Across the U.S.

6. I think this anecdote is about Falling Water.

Wright had a commission for a house design but had delayed working on it due to other assignments. He had visited the site for the house and had done some thinking about a design. He got a call from the customer who said he was in the area and would like to drop by for a visit. Wright had to scramble because he knew there would be questions about a design.

He quickly drew some sketches based on his brainstorming, thinking that they could serve as placeholders until he could put time into a real design.

The customer arrived and Wright showed him the sketches. The sketches were almost identical to what was eventually constructed. It's a testament to Wright's skill at imagining a design, thinking about it over time and being able to render his ideas onto paper quickly.
