Taliesin West
Taliesin West was architect Frank Lloyd Wright's winter home and school in the desert in Scottsdale, Arizona, USA from 1937 until his death in 1959 at the age of 91. The design was an organic response to the rugged nature of the talus-sloped mountain site, from which Wright plucked the sand, gravel, and stone used as basic construction materials; to the mild winter climate, which permitted natural lighting through a tent-like roof of redwood and canvas; and to the necessity of housing a community of staff and students.
