Architect F. L. Wright's Arizona house

Taliesin West in Arizona — the winter residence and school of architect Frank Lloyd Wright, a pioneer of organic architecture. Built in 1937 and inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

To make the buildings blend in with their surroundings, Wright preferred local materials, so the walls are made of Arizona desert stone — an arrangement of large boulders set in concrete, with cladding of flat flagstone.

The petroglyphs Wright found among the rocks were stylized and turned into one of the symbols of Taliesin West.

Throughout his life, Wright constantly changed and expanded the complex. The School of Architecture kept operating after his death until mid-2020. Over 88 years, it graduated more than 1,200 students.

Today it is the headquarters of the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation and is open to visitors.
