Built between 1937 and 1959, the Organic Modern-style Taliesin West was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and constructed by his apprentices to serve as the winter home of Wright and his Taliesin Fellowship. The complex, which consists of many buildings, began as a set of temporary, tent-like structures in the late 1930s, before evolving into more permanent buildings over the course of the 1940s, reflecting the ever-experimenting nature of the Taliesin Fellowship and Frank Lloyd Wright, something also seen at the original Taliesin in Wisconsin. Wright developed an architecture at Taliesin West that reflected the surrounding desert environment, with long, low stone buildings featuring long and narrow expanses of glass, shed roofs, stone walls, and timber framing, with rooflines that reflected the surrounding mountains, small areas of non-desert plantings, and buildings that were, alternatively, reminiscent of tent pavilions and stone caves. The complex is clustered around the main building, with much of the site remaining an undisturbed natural desert landscape, an increasingly rare feature of the greater Phoenix Area, which was already beginning to disappear during Wright’s lifetime. The site is home to rocks with petroglyphs created by the indigenous Hohokam people, along with remnants of their habitation of the site prior to their migration out of the region during a period of climate change, which was accompanied by severe flooding that damaged their irrigation canal infrastructure, in the 14th and 15th Centuries. The buildings surround various courts, gardens, and natural areas, and many incorporate Chinese sculptures near their entrances, collected by Frank Lloyd Wright due to his lifelong fascination with East Asian art.
The buildings consist of a main building, with a stone vault at its northwest corner. Built in 1937 as the first structure at Taliesin West, the cave-like stone vault meant to protect drawings created by Wright and the Taliesin Fellowship in the event of a fire, influenced by the fires that had previously destroyed Taliesin in Wisconsin. From this initial structure extends, to the southeast, a drafting studio with a canvas roof, large roof beams, ribbon windows, stone walls, and a wooden pergola on its northern flank, which contained the main drafting studio of the Taliesin Fellowship, and has a large entrance terrace on its south facade, with steps leading down to the pool and the prow at the southwest corner of the complex. To the east of the drafting studio is the kitchen, which features an exterior bell tower that would signal members of the Taliesin Fellowship to come to the dining room for meals, and dining room, which served as a large communal space for the Taliesin Fellowship and Wright. These public and communal spaces sit west of a breezeway that connects the northern patio with the sunset terrace on the south side of the complex. On the southwest side of sunset terrace is the Garden Room, a large living room utilized by both the Taliesin Fellowship members, as well as Wright’s family, as a gathering space, which encloses a small walled garden and, along with the breezeway, marks the transition between the more communal, public spaces at the western end of the main building with the more private rooms to the east. The eastern portion of the main building contains bedrooms and bathrooms for the Wright family, and a weaving studio utilized by Olgivanna to create textiles, with a ventilation tower, the tallest section of the complex, being located on the north side of this wing.
To the east of the main building are various cottages and residences for the Taliesin Fellowship, as well as Sun Cottage, the former residence of Iovanna Wright, the daughter of Olgivanna and Frank Lloyd Wright, which are simpler versions of the main building, and remain private living quarters today, not open to visitors taking tours of the complex. At the southeast corner of these structures is the cave-like Kiva, originally constructed to serve as a theater for the Taliesin Fellowship, which features stone walls and a rooftop terrace, and is connected to the main building via a covered walkway. At the northern end of the original complex is Frank Lloyd Wright’s office, which is extremely similar to the drafting studio, but at a smaller scale, and features the same ribbon windows, canvas roof with large beams, and stone walls seen on the drafting studio. To the north of the office is the Cabaret Theatre, built in 1950, which replaced the Kiva as a performance space and meeting space for the Taliesin Fellowship, and consists of a long, low cave-like structure built of stone and concrete that is embedded into the surrounding landscape. On the east side of the theater is the music pavilion, originally built in 1957, which was destroyed by fire and rebuilt in 1963 according to the original plans, and rivals the main building in size. West of these structures is the Visitor’s Center and Maintenance Building, which was built in the early 2000s to allow for additional visitor capacity at Taliesin West. Following the design of the rest of the complex, the visitor center harmonizes with the rest of Taliesin West, feeling like a natural extension of the buildings constructed with oversight by Wright.
Taliesin West was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974, and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1982. The structure is also part of The 20th-Century Architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright UNESCO World Heritage Site, listed in 2019. Taliesin West is the final resting place of the remains of Frank Lloyd Wright and Olgivanna Wright, which, controversially, led to the exhumation of Frank Lloyd Wright from Unity Chapel Cemetery in Spring Green, Wisconsin following Olgivanna’s death in 1985. The complex remained in use by the Taliesin Fellowship until it became The School of Architecture in 1986, which remained in operation seasonally at both Taliesin and Taliesin West until moving its operations to another location in Scottsdale in 2020. Taliesin West today is owned and operated by the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, which continues conservation work on the buildings, including reconstruction of various wings that were built quickly with low-quality materials, ensuring that the buildings continue to stand and remain open to visitors in perpetuity.

This is the historic St. David’s in-the-Valley Episcopal Church, located on Forest Hills Road in Cullowhee, North Carolina. Constructed between 1884 and 1886, and consecrated in 1892, the Gothic Revival-style brick masonry church is home to the local Episcopal congregation, and was constructed with funding and support from Welsh-born Judge Daniel D. Davies, whom once lived in a grand Queen Anne-Style mansion across the valley known as Forest Hill. The church, which is the oldest remaining structure I know of with any significance in the Cullowhee area, with most other buildings from the same time period having been lost. The church thrived for several decades, but the congregation began to dwindle during the early 20th Century, with only three members making up the congregation by 1925, growing a bit by 1933, but then shrinking to the point where the church was closed in 1941, and deconsecrated in 1942. The church then sat vacant for over a decade, until renewed interest and growth in the local college led to its revival and reconsecration in 1959, with a small parish hall added to one side of the building. The building continued to function in that configuration for over 50 years, but, due to growth in the church’s size and needs during that time, which were due to the growth of Western Carolina University and Cullowhee, the church received a new parish hall in 2013, designed by local architect Odell Thompson, which harmonizes nicely with the historic church, and also allowed for the removal of the 1959 parish hall addition and restoration of the church’s exterior, with a new covered walkway connecting the two structures. The charming, quaint, and beautiful church with lovely, finely-crafted details continues to serve as the local Episcopal parish, and, as one of the oldest churches still in use in the county, holds a great deal of historical significance, though it is not listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Founded in 1970, Arcosanti is an arcology designed in the Brutalist style by Paolo Soleri to serve as a self-sufficient community on a desert mesa near Cordes Lakes, Arizona. The buildings that comprise the complex, despite being a work-in-progress, were mostly built between 1971 and 1980, with more sporadic work on a few portions of the complex being completed as recently as 2008. The complex is the result of the design philosophy of Soleri, being an example of his theory of an arcology, combining ecology with architecture, making a dense, self-sufficient community that works with the natural landscape, and an alternative to urban sprawl and more conventional development patterns. Soleri guided the project until his death at the age of 92 in 2013, with further phases of construction being planned. However, Arcosanti has struggled to grow beyond a commune of 150 people, taking on a form and size comparable to a traditional pre-industrial rural village, rather than a town or city with thousands of residents as envisioned by Soleri. Most residents of Arcosanti are like-minded, which is required for the community’s ability to function and operate, and consist primarily of artists, environmentalists, farmers, and sustainability advocates, whom each contribute their skills to the community. In addition to the permanent residents, temporary residents whom spend five weeks attending workshops at the site. Despite its shortcomings, Arcosanti’s relationship to the surrounding environment, radical approach in design, philosophical background, and self-sufficiency are key points that are valuable to consider when designing buildings for sustainability and environmental consciousness, along with being an excellent example of Brutalism, which harmonizes nicely with the surrounding desert landscape.
The buildings at Arcosanti include the boxy, rectilinear Visitor Center, which appears like a medieval tower rising from the edge of the Mesa, with an open pier foundation that provides shelter to visitors entering and exiting the Visitor Trail, the half-domes for the Ceramics Studio and Metallurgy Foundry, various resident apartments, which demonstrate varying exterior characteristics, a barrel vaulted canopy over the central plaza, known as the vaults, a laboratory that houses a greenhouse and woodshed, allowing for food to be grown more efficiently and for items to be crafted by residents, the East Crescent, which contains resident housing and surrounds a central amphitheater. The site also features a swimming pool, gardens, resident cabins, which mostly date to the first stages of construction in the early 1970s, a self-contained wastewater management system, and guest rooms for visitors. The main complex of buildings are arranged at the edge of a mesa, overlooking a canyon, with smaller buildings located further down into the canyon and in the bottomlands along the Agua Fria River.
Arcosanti provides a counterpoint to the modern development pattern, one that is more sensitive and respectful to the landscape and the natural environment, and a design that fosters a strong sense of community, all of which are lacking from most new development being built today. Residents are able to quickly walk to work and to amenities within the community, reducing the dependency on cars and mechanized transportation. Additionally, buildings are designed to be energy efficient, incorporating passive strategies for thermal regulation and lighting. The complex, owned by the Cosanti foundation, remains a work in progress, with only ten percent of the proposed buildings being complete, and cover a very small area of the larger property owned by the foundation, with most of the land being left in its natural state or utilized for agriculture. Tours are available for visitors, along with overnight stays in the guest rooms at the complex, and the complex continues to house and foster a tight-knit, vibrant community.
