Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation @ Taliesin West – Scottsdale, AZ
Develop your own design ideas while working at Frank Lloyd Wright’s winter home and architectural studio, a National Historic Landmark considered by many to be one of his greatest masterpieces. You will learn how Wright took everyday shapes and objects and used them, along with vivid colors and patterns, to create buildings that are works of art. “Design Your Dream Space” will immerse you in the process of architecture contemplation and planning, designing a two-dimensional floor plan to scale and building a 3-D model. You will be encouraged to examine familiar objects from a different point of view. This approach allows you to see how interrelated subjects, like math, science, art, and technology are used to create buildings. In this unique program, theory and philosophy are combined with hands-on activities that will challenge you to explore new architectural forms, energy sources, and spaces to work, learn, and live in. Hotel reservations and transportation are not included in the cost of this program.

Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation @ Taliesin – Spring Green, WI
Taliesin, Frank Lloyd Wright’s home in Wisconsin, is sometimes called Wright’s autobiography in wood and stone. Everything at Taliesin—from the buildings, to the landscaped grounds, roads and ponds, lighting, furnishings, and collected objects—is a reflection of Wright’s genius. You will learn how Wright, inspired by the geometry and organic shapes in nature, used vivid colors and patterns to create buildings that are works of art. “Design Your Dream Space” will immerse you in the process of architecture: contemplating and planning, designing a two-dimensional floor plan to scale, and building a 3-D model. You will be encouraged to examine familiar objects from a different point of view, prompting you to see how interrelated subjects, like math, science, art, and technology are linked in architecture. Throughout, you'll combine theory and philosophy with hands-on activities that will challenge you to re-examine the spaces you inhabit, explore new architectural forms, and develop beautiful environments in which to work, learn, and live. Private tours of Taliesin and the Hillside complex are included in the fee. Hotel reservations and transportation are not included in the cost of this program.
