Apparently Wright only visited the site where Fallingwater would be built once, and that was on December 18, 1934. At that time Wright saw that the stream called Bear Run was nestled in "…a beautiful forest…a solid, high rock-ledge rising beside a waterfall and the natural think seemed to be to cantilever the house from that rock-bank over the falling water," Wright explained to a television reporter in 1953 (Weisberg, 2011). It was Wright's genius that he could sit down on September 22, 1956, nine months after seeing the Fallingwater site, and draw out the design in two hours (Weisberg, 300). On the morning of September 22, 1956 Kaufmann happened to be in Milwaukee, close to the Taliesin, the Wright home in Wisconsin; Kaufmann called Wright (September 22 was a Sunday morning) and said he wanted to see the proposed design for the Fallingwater site. Wright said fine, come over and see the design. It was at that moment that Wright sat down and in two hours, designed the building in an architecturally accepted format. This reflects on Wright's life and skills...

However, Wright "…ignored the desires of the client to follow the imperatives of his own vision" (Weisberg, 300). In other words, Wright had an enormous ego, and he was arrogant to a degree and was very sure of himself.
