Fallingwater, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, has reopened to the public after a three-year preservation project. This reopening coincides with its 90th anniversary and the start of its 63rd tour season. The Western Pennsylvania Conservancy led the intervention, focusing on structural and environmental challenges while maintaining Wright's original design. The project included waterproofing, repairing concrete elements, and upgrading glazing systems. Fallingwater is recognized for its organic architecture and is inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List, becoming a major cultural destination since its opening as a museum in 1964.
