As a tour guide at Taliesin, we always want visitors to feel the flow of the spaces as Wright meant them to be used. It’s a mission certainly easier said than done, but this video captures that feeling and energy perfectly!

What great fun it must be to be a tour guide of such an historic residence! I stop once or twice per year at the family chapel and Frank’s now empty Grave. This early Summer I went walking towards the Grave and all of a sudden in the long grass I was walking in 4-5 inches of water! A low spot in the cemetery. I rode my motorcycle with wet soggy boots the rest of the day! Beautiful area. Just love it!

Agree! I was a Winter Immersion student at Taliesin West in 2018, it also changed my life … the architecture school that FLLW began and which remained at the Taliesin sites for 88 years was shut down in 2020 (renamed and moved on) … while tours are wonderful, and this video awesome, they are no substitute for living, working, breathing in and experiencing a place over weeks, months, years …

It's great. Really enjoying its quirkiness. Thanks very much for the window. I've been to both Fallingwater and Taliesin West. For me, FLW structures I've visited seem to have an unusual presence that feels almost human. It's like the chairs beckon you to sit, the windows encourage you to look everywhere not just anywhere; the stone and wood insist you touch them. And what is it about that marvelous Cherokee Red that makes it so appealing?

this is so alive! it was always hard for me to connect with frank lloyd wright's buildings. but this was incredible - both widening my horizon of what's possible and bringing closer some of his other works. it was super easy to lose orientation. at several times, i wished for a map with a pin of where you currently are - but perhaps the getting lost in the video transports, what experiencing the building is like and adding to the playfulness and mystique

Your video inspires me to read more about Wright's theories of architecture. I toured one of his houses (Hollyhock). I've also been in the civic center in San Rafael, north of SF. Amazing building, still in use today. Like the J&J building, they've never been able to stop the roof leaking, as of the last time I was there during a rainy period---buckets all over the hallway to catch the drips. Still, amazing design.

I'm a native of Wisconsin. I adore FLW and have visited Taliesin many times. I loved your show so I could reflect upon The home that Frank built to escape Oak Park, IL and the scandal of his affair with Mamah Cheney, wife of an Oak Park client. He would take the train down to his office in Chicago (in the early days of Taliesin) and Mamah would stay in Spring Green. The land was owned by the maternal Lloyd side of the family and the valley was kind of 'home' to the Lloyd's, who immigrated here from Wales, England. Ivana (this 3rd and last wife) lived there with Frank from the mid-1920's and after his death in 1959. She eventually settled permanently in Taliensin West, outside of Scottsdale AZ. The FLW 'foundation' formally owned both Taliesin's. In Wisconsin, he was friends with Hib Johnson (of the S.C. Johnson family) and designed their factory buildings in Racine as well as 'Wingspread' in northern Racine county, home of Hib and his family. Sammy Johnson Jr. was one of Hib's children and recalls the stories about growing up in Wingspread as well as the relationship with his father and FLW, America's greatest architect.

His furniture just doesn’t get enough love. His exposure plywood edges has in recent years become very popular. It’s somewhat reminiscent of exposed joinery of dovetails. It’s a little peep inside to clever construction that adds so much interest to a mechanical mind while exposing brilliance and beauty. The ceilings are a bit low for my tastes (and height) but I love these tours.

I'd be thrilled to discover indiscreet stairways and passages and daydream of the old days in those environments. My parents designed and build our home and the entire process has always been a love and appreciation if mine. May curiosity along with the delights of mindful design, environments and habitats always be enjoyed and appreciated....... Delightful venture, thank you, Tara

Have you visited Frank Lloyd Wright's Imperial Hotel in Japan? Japan has several historical architecture parks where they take older buildings from different periods that were going to be demolished and rebuild them in basically a theme park. You can go inside the buildings and they have information about how the building was used and what life was like back in the day. I had the chance to visit Meiji Mura and see the original FLW entrance and courtyard pond which they preserved in the park. You could probably spend a good day walking around the park and checking out the buildings.

You talked about how tall Frank Lloyd Wright was. I believe it was his grandson who made a comment about when he saw Frank's body after he had died and he was shocked about how small of a man he was. When he was alive he was such a 'larger than life' man and that had gone away after he had died. This was from someone from the immediate family who we can assume had much more contact with the famous man than just someone who visited or even worked with the man. That was a comment that has stayed with me over the years that defined my appreciation for the life-force that was Frank Lloyd Wright.

The Taliesin organization slaps designers who "copy" Wright, and that has stilted proliferation of his style since his death. He was a huge influence on designers in the first half of the 20th century, but far fewer people are aware of him and his styles today. Copyright has expired on his early designs, so "inspired" work in those styles can be built without fear now. But many things that he did do not meet current building codes, such as the extremely low ceilings you pointed out. There are other things that won't fly today as well, so nobody is going to do a pure copy now. But there is a lot to learn from him, and we would all be better off if more of his ideas were reintroduced in new buildings.

OK so it burnt twice. If it were mine I would have used that opportunity to raise the entire roof line by about a foot. Wouldn’t have changed the sight lines at all. Was he a very short man? Because I’m not tall, but that low ceiling would make me claustrophobic. We toured the Dana-Thomas house he designed in Springfield, IL. It was gorgeous, and not low ceilings at all. Maybe I’d raise it 2 feet, because even the doors are way too short!

He loved his “compression”, but the hitting your head thing is a bit ridiculous. Also, I can’t stand carports…I have one and I hate it….absolutely hate it. I would never design a carport. The carport traps all the leaves and pine needles and dirt….which inevitably works its way into your house. I guess this isn’t a problem if you have servants. I do like his ability to create warmth in very large interior spaces. It really comes down to choice of natural materials and site lines and dividing up the large space into smaller purposeful useful parts.

Will someone please explain the reason the doors are so short and the ceilings often so low? Was this common for a FLW building? Was there a deliberate aesthetic reason? Was it about the Japanese references? Because what use is the drama of emerging from a compressed space into a large space if you literally can't fit in it?

To me FLW was certainly a mixed bag. When you compare Wright to his contemporaries it’s pretty clear that he brought a lot to the party. On the other hand, some of what he insisted on is just IMO, impractical, difficult and not durable. I like art, but I don’t think I can afford to live inside it. Cheers

@@RyanJohnsonD the majority of the stone in the home is limestone, quarried from about a mile from the property. The stone flooring is limestone, which Wright had waxed (with wax free from the Johnson Wax company!) because he thought it looked like the bottom of the Wisconsin river when it was waxed. It is a resin coating now, as the wax was not durable enough for the foot traffic from tours. The radiant heating was particularly effective because the stone holds the heat so well. The geothermal system both heats and cools the house, which is great because the Wisconsin humidity can really damage the items inside the home. Geothermal is also very cost effective and more sustainable than radiant.
