This week on Dezeen, a three-year renovation of Frank Lloyd Wright’s most famous building, Fallingwater, was completed.
Led by New York-based Architectural Preservation Studio, the extensive renovation addressed water damage and other problems at the house, which was designed in the mid-1930s for retail magnate Edgar J Kaufmann.
We also looked forward to this year’s Milan design week, the design world’s biggest annual gathering, which takes place later this month.
Ahead of the event, we picked the key installations and exhibitions to see, including The Eames Houses at Triennale Milano (pictured), a mindfulness space by Zaha Hadid Architects and Kelly Wearstler’s collection for H&M.
