Weather Cooler today, sunny but 66
Taliesin is pronounced tally-s-in
The famous Frank Lloyd Wright built his personal winter home, called Taliesin West in the McDowell Mountains just on the outskirts of Scottsdale. Being a reader last year I enjoyed the novel Loving Frank by Nancy Horan. It was about the love of his life and the bibliographical period of Frank Lloyd Wright in his early life, first wife and family and then his illicit affair with Mamah Borthwick. In Wisconsin he built his first prairie home for them called Taliesin. Frank and his third wife Olga built this home Taliesin West as their winter home in 1937. It is amazing architecture for that time period but then again he was a genius. Now the property is preserved and used as a Architect School. I can imagine it would be the same as if you are a Chef and accepted at the Cordon Blue. Only 35 students per year and they study here in the winter and in Wisconsin in the summer months.
It was such an interesting tour through the property and school that you want to see his other pieces of work!
Billy thought it was cool that the students inside the lab area are all sitting at the old school drafting tables, oh yes the same as he learned on! Funny thing is they all had a couple of laptops sitting on them too!!!
