[Cob] Marlin's rubble trench

[Amanda Peck]

Does anyone know what the foundation for Fallingwater was?  I expect I could 
find in in one of the zillion books on Wright.

(That is the famous house built over a stream.  The most usual picture 
rather looks like it was built over a waterfall, but it wasn't--quite.  So, 
can a rubble trench be used where there is moving water, possibility of 
erosion, etc.?)

Cat here!  Check out the foundations built by Frank Lloyd Wright.  He used 
rubble often in his homes to great advantage.  They moved with the earth.  
His use of reinforced cement and experiments with  copper pipe in cement 
failed but his natural systems are still working.
