Throw the axiom "You can't teach an old dog new tricks" out the door. Lifelong learning is attitudinal; one can and should be open to new ideas, decisions, skills or behaviors at any age.
Come for a lecture. Learn a new skill as a volunteer. Immerse yourself in a weekend of Frank Lloyd Wright. Have a thirst for knowledge? Fallingwater can help quench it.

Read and Reflect
Exploring the connections between an architectural artifact and its situation within the larger environment offers a critical point of departure for exploring the dynamic relationship that exists between architecture and site. The interconnectedness between architecture and site becomes apparent when examining not only their theoretical constructions but also, their physical, metaphysical, and sensual dimensions. This approach and the case studies investigated here by Professor John Reynolds, Miami University, recognizes that links between theory, perception, and sensual experience are needed to address the rupture that has occurred between architecture and site, people and place.
Lectures
Offered on Thursdays, May – October, the Fallingwater Lectures Series presents a rotating look at the people who created Fallingwater, the collections that grace the house, and designing in harmony with nature.
Attend one of these lectures before or after your tour for just an additional $5. Friends of Fallingwater may attend any of the lectures for free.
