I didn't place all 10,000 parts separately, though. Thanks to Jacob's
fractal landscape generator, I was able to convert a contour map and a
color map of the Fallingwater landscape into a DAT file. To create the
contour map, I first scanned the part of the plans for Fallingwater from
a book (they contained the most important landscape details as well).
Then I colored it in as best I could to get the layers of land correct.
I reduced the size to 100x100 (well, actually, 150x150 the first time,
but that took too long to render). I changed the colors to create a
color map and then used both files to create the landscape. If you
haven't seen the results already, they're here:
