Falling Water

I became interested in architecture this year when I studied Frank Lloyd Wright's work and visited his masterpiece "Falling Water." Frank Lloyd Wright is known for incorporating natural surroundings into his houses. At the Falling Water's gift shop, I saw examples of Wright's original widnow designs, which I found to be absolutely inspiring. I would love to one day design unique windows to put in my houses. - Jill Jackson

Material Connexion's Green Construction Material of The Year 2011.

I have always been interested in the "green movement". Eventually, I hope to make environmentally efficient buildings my concentration. Here is a link talking about the "green material of the year". New materials and technologies are constantly being created to make the over-all building/construction/design process not only more efficient but also more eco-friendly. I think it's important for us to keep up with these innovative materials and to keep them in mind when working on our current projects.
