Living Architecture Frank Lloyd Wright and Taliesin Architects

The visionary American architect Frank Lloyd Wright founded the Taliesin Fellowship in 1932. Among other things, the fellowship offered a school of architecture where apprentices learned Wright's theories of organic architecture & participated in making them manifest. After Wright's death in 1959, some of those who had studied & worked with him stayed on at Taliesin & formed Taliesin Architects. The firm's aim is to create buildings in harmony with nature; to embrace lifelong learning; to make a positive contribution to the way people live; & to keep Wright's vision alive while experimenting within its parameters. Author John Rattenbury is the head of Taliesin Architects; he began studying with Wright in 1950, & he has been with Taliesin ever since. A Living Architecture offers a fascinating overview of Taliesin Architects' work of the past forty years, a history of the fellowship's development, & a succinct summary of Wright's design philosophy. With three hundred full-color photographs & drawings, it is also a spectacular visual treat, documenting some of the world's most exciting buildings of the late twentieth century.Rattenbury, John is the author of 'Living Architecture Frank Lloyd Wright and Taliesin Architects' with ISBN 9780764913662 and ISBN 0764913662.
