Regarded as the best all-time work of American architecture, Fallingwater is celebrated as an icon of design and has been shared with the public since 1964, making it the first house of the modern movement to open as a museum. While a sculptural masterpiece, the house has been challenged with preservation issues from the very beginning—leaking roofs, rusting steel, spalling concrete, and the possible collapse of its signature cantilevers. This talk explores the unique preservation challenges that impact Fallingwater, past and present, and the importance of stewarding and interpreting this significant landmark for a global community.
