Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin West

I thought I'd share some photos with you from my recent trip to Scottsdale, AZ to visit Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin West. The stunning desert buildings – Frank Lloyd Wright’s personal winter home, studio and the Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture were built in 1937. The tour explores the grounds of Taliesin West and then takes visitors into the living quarters, showing a more private side of Frank Lloyd Wright. The tour lasted 90 minutes, and our tour guide was very knowledgeable. Photos weren't allowed inside, but we were allowed to sit in some of the furniture while she talked about the Wrights, Taliesin West, and the architecture school.





At Taliesen West, Frank Lloyd Wright’s winter office and now an architectural school, students have to sleep outside in the desert in either a tent or in a shelter of their own design.
