DETAILS: Frank Lloyd Wright realized more designs as completed buildings during the last 24 years of his career (1936-1959) than he did during the first 49 years (1887-1935). This course focuses on Wright's "second career" during the 30s, 40s and 50s, after the founding of the Taliesin Fellowship and the realization of Fallingwater. This course will provide an introduction to the wide range of buildings from this period, including theaters, private homes and commercial and religious structures. The course will also examine how the application of Wright's organic approach to design evolved over the course of his career.
