Architecture
Architecture (Latin architectura, after the Greek ἀρχιτέκτων – arkhitekton – from ἀρχι- "chief" and τέκτων "builder, carpenter, mason") is both the process and the product of planning, designing, and constructing buildings and other physical structures. Architectural works, in the material form of buildings, are often perceived as cultural symbols and as works of art. Historical civilizations are often identified with their surviving architectural achievements.

Fallingwater
Mill Run, PA On National Register of Historic Places One of Smithsonian’s “28 places to see before you
die” Space available was not large enough to build a
foundation for house the size Wright wanted Used cantilevers to enlarge the space Only used 4 materials—reinforced concrete,
sandstone, steel, and glass Wright wanted the family to live in a way that they
always experienced the nature nearby, i.e. the waterfall

Guggenheim
Started in 1937 Space intended to be a “temple of the
spirit” Spiral design like a nautilus shell, with
continuous spaces flowing freely into one another
"these geometric forms suggest certain human ideas, moods, sentiments – as for instance: the circle, infinity; the triangle, structural unity; the spiral, organic progress; the square, integrity."[
