Here, amidst palo verde trees and coyotes, the visitor finds an oasis of sparkling pools and low-slung modern buildings that are uniquely suited to the site--indeed a veritable paradise that seems to have emerged from the wilderness. The expression of profound vision and the product of determination, artistry, and imagination, here Wright brought forth an organic masterpiece from the elements of the earth. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBegun in 1937, the compound served as a place of exploration, a place of work, a place of camaraderie and culture, and a place of living for Wright, for his family, and for the apprentices of the Taliesin Fellowship, who had joined the architect to learn and to work with him side-by-side. A most unusual place and community, Wright's legacy lives on even today. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eTaliesin West: At Home with Frank Lloyd Wright\u003c\/i\u003e explores the life within structures that make up Wright's desert masterpiece, from Garden Room to Cabaret Theatre, and delves into the many stories that have made the place at once a crucible for creation and a home.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNora Burba Trulsson\u003c\/b\u003e is an Arizona-based architecture, design, and travel writer, whose books include \u003ci\u003eDesert Southwest\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eLiving Homes: Sustainable Architecture and Design\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cb\u003eAndrew Pielage\u003c\/b\u003e is an internationally published architectural and travel photographer on a mission to photograph all remaining Frank Lloyd Wright designs. \u003cb\u003eStuart Graff\u003c\/b\u003e is president and CEO of the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 168\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.2 x 10.2 x 11.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 03, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42726080512063,"sku":"9780847835911","price":54.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/1b5de836a64ba8811bb43d4d998acf36.webp?v=1765109162","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/taliesin-west-at-home-with-frank-lloyd-wright-hardcover","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
