Wright was very proud of Fallingwater. He expressed its unity with nature by saying that rocks, forest, and water are combined so perfectly with his building that "you listen not to any noise whatsoever although the music of the stream is there.But you listen to fallingwater the way you listen to the quiet of the country.In other words, the building seems to be a natural part of the surrounding environment. Wright designed about 1,000 building in his life;however,fewer than 500 were built. Among his most famous works, the Guggenheim Museum in new york city is notable.
The Guggenheim is famous for being round, and the principle of "form follows function" is easy to see in the plan for the museum. Visitors first take an elevator to the top of the building, and then they view art without interruption as they descend the spiral ramp. Construction of the Guggenheim Museum was delayed several times. though Wright accepted the job in 1943, the building was not finished until October 1959. Unfortunately, Wright never got to see the completed project since he died a few days after having surgery in April 1959.
