Sixteen million telephones were operating in America half a century after its invention (Field). The linotype composing machine developed in 1886, as well as the rotary press and paper-folding machine, transformed the printing press, allowing printing of 240,000 eight-page newspapers within one hour.

Winona LaDuke defines human rights as the rights of all human beings on earth, which is inclusive of the rights of indigenous people.

Discussions on Architecture Discussion 1: What Was Wright Up To? Questions Architecture has taken a different course in the modern world. Wright wanted to be different from the other architectures in the world. What was Wright’s philosophy about architecture? Landscape determines the structure of the house, and it also profoundly influences architectural designs. Does modernism apply the same principles in design and construction? The traditional houses were structured while highly observing the relationship between a structure and the landscape. What was the relationship between the traditional house and the land?

While sitting in the living room at Falling Water, laurel bushes, mossy patches and birch bushes are visible from the window. Is it possible for most architectures to regard what is outside the house than what is inside the house while approaching their architectural design? Falling Water was an extraordinary building in the 20th century. Which basic materials were used to construct the building?   Question 1: How does Falling Water reflect Wright’s ideas about Organic Architecture?
