This past weekend our class went to Thomas Jefferson's Monticello and Frank Lloyd Wright's Falling Water. It was a great trip to learn about these vastly different men, and how they both captured something within their designs that still holds them, to this day, to be proclaimed as two of the greatest architects of all time. You can tell from the photos that the styles are quite different from each other. Jefferson continued to look back to the past, drawing inspiration from classical language, while Wright stood out from the pack and designed something completely new and inovative, focusing on nature.
