Olson Kundig Architects was one of six firms shortlisted as a
finalist in the Fallingwater Architectural Design Competition for
on-site educational housing at the famed site.
Our architectural concept stems from the biological term, ecotone – a
transitional zone between two ecological communities, as between a
forest and meadow. The ecotone shares features of the ecosystems it
bridges; it also has unique characteristics of its own.
The designs of each of the six firms will be displayed in an
exhibit, Design Competition: New Cottages at Fallingwater, at the
Carnegie Museum of Art’s Heinz Architectural Center, from June 12 –
August 22, 2010.
