{"product_id":"9780847835911","title":"Taliesin West : At Home with Frank Lloyd Wright by Nora Burba Trulsson","description":"An extraordinary house and compound of buildings that complements the cactus-studded environs and rolling hills of the Scottsdale desert in Arizona, Taliesin West is Wright s ode to desert living and one of his greatest and most visited venues. Here, amidst mesquite trees and scorpions, the visitor finds an oasis of sparkling pools and low-slung modernistic buildings that are uniquely suited to the site indeed a veritable paradise that seems to have emerged from the wilderness. The expression of profound vision and the product of determination, artistry, and imagination, here Wright brought forth a masterpiece from the elements of the earth.   Begun in 1937, the house served as a place of exploration, a place of work, a place of camaraderie and culture, and a place of living for Wright, for his family, and for the apprentices of the Taliesin Fellowship, who had joined the architect to learn and to work with him side-by-side. A most unusual place and community, Wright s legacy lives on even today.   The book explores the structures that make up Wright s desert masterpiece, from Garden Room to to Cabaret Theatre, and delves into the many stories that have made the place at once a crucible for creation and a home.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44582897254578,"sku":"9780847835911","price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780847835911.jpg?v=1737625198","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9780847835911","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
