Who designed Falling Water and Taliesin?

• A. Wright
• B. Gearhy
• C. Verdi
• D. Puccini

Answer: (A)

Frank Lloyd Wright designed Fallingwater and Taliesin, highlighting his approach of organic architecture that blends buildings with their natural surroundings. Fallingwater, built over a waterfall in Bear Run, Pennsylvania, shows how structure can harmonize with the landscape through its use of rock-inspired materials and cantilevered lines that extend the living space toward nature. Taliesin refers to Wright’s home and studio in Spring Green, Wisconsin (and later Taliesin West in Arizona), which served as a hub for his work and a laboratory for his ideas about open plans, harmony with the site, and the integration of indoor and outdoor spaces. The other names are opera composers and do not involve designing such architectural works, so they aren’t relevant here.
