fallingwater vs. monticello

fallingwater was defiantly my favorite building we visited this weekend.  while I still really enjoyed thomas jefferson's monticello, I liked how fallingwater was more incorporated with nature and embraced the surrounding scenery.  rather than standing on top of a hill and sticking out from the surrounding environment like monticello did, fallingwater fit perfectly into the rocky hillside it was built into.  when you're inside, there is something new to see every step you take, whether its something new in the scenery or a new detail in the interior.  I felt like every detail, both on the interior and the way it fit into the surrounding, was thoroughly thought through to be in harmony, where in monticello the exterior appeared to be perfect, but the rooms in the interior were far from perfect.
