Taliesin, the Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture offers an 8 week Immersion experience at its legendary Taliesin West campus in January of each year with applications for 2014 now closed.
Taliesin West is the main campus of the Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture in Scottsdale, Arizona. The buildings rest on 500 acres of preserved Sonoran Desert open space on the south foothills of the McDowell Mountains with spectacular views of Scottsdale, Phoenix and the Valley of the Sun.
Applied Topics in Architecture is built of two of the following subjects of the participant’s choice from our ongoing curriculum. Courses such as geometric design, cultural anthropology, building codes, and structures have been offered in the past. As well, participants apply their learning as part of a design/build team working on a small construction project.
The above is supplemented by opportunities shared with the larger academic community, including lectures and workshops on topics such as graphic design, architectural history, building preservation, and non-architectural content such as drama and music.
Participants are provided the option of living in experimental desert shelters during all or part of their residency. Alternately, rooms or small apartments are available for students based on availability, including those for students with spouses/partners.
