Description

Cornelia Brierly was once probably the most first apprentices to attend Frank Lloyd Wright’s school of architecture. Before long, she was once a working colleague of the master architect; right through the last thirty years of his career, she made important design contributions to many of his building projects. Brierly has spent most of her life at Wright’s Taliesin (Wisconsin) and Taliesin West (Arizona).

This lavishly illustrated memoir tells the story of nearly seventy years spent with the Taliesin Fellowship. It’s a very powerful work, not only as a result of the writer’s closeness to the twentieth century’s foremost architect but because she has observed to start with hand the unfolding of organic architecture — Wright’s design precepts made manifest. In an affectionate, honest, and preceptive book, she celebrates the fellowship as a lifestyle and brings to life a vibrant community that may be still going strong, forty years after Wright’s death.

176 pages, size: 10″ x 10.” 150 color and black-and-white photographs, hardbound book with dust jacket.
