An excellent showcase of Frank Lloyd Wright’s talent and abilities. While the school is not particularly large, it is consistently interesting in its vision and style and therefore can give you a great deal to think about. His use of broken symmetry, contrast in elements, infusion of Asian art, and references to his family abounds here. Archetypal organic architecture indeed. Remarkably the school still functions as a school for architecture students summering from Taliesen West. The gallery showcases many of his great designs, and the theater is a lovely place to visit. Sadly the main curtain from said theater is not on site at the moment. It is currently on loan to the Guggenheim. But if you are in Manhattan, right now, you can see that! Go check out his work — he was quite the genius.
