Re: Taliesin West

Thank you. I ask because I've just finished some continuing ed. credits on mech. systems and it's on my mind. Has anybody here used or heard of a residential A/C system that will take cool air from a basement and blow it into the upper floors before the cooling cycle kicks in? This is probably rath...

Re: Susan Jacobs

Shocked, disheartened and dismayed to learn of Susan's passing ... the first person I know who succumbed to Covid.     Susan was a remarkable woman ... a consummate musician and artist ... hard-working, but always young, vital, and positive.   For several years she and I worked side-by-side in the o...

Re: Article: Taliesin - Unfinished Wing

Yes, there are ten photographs, but there are eleven selections ... two FLLWright houses.

The main dining hall was Wright's cathedral or Hagia Sophia ? S
Imagine all the hours spent designing all that ornament!

Re: Taliesin West

I guess I mean in general, as in where does Phoenix get water, but also is there a specific place on site where the water originates? Phoenix gets most of its drinking water from the Verde River ... which empties into the Salt River northeast of Phoenix, not too far from Taliesin West As it says .....

Re: Taliesin West

Where does the water come from at TWest? I guess I mean in general, as in where does Phoenix get water, but also is there a specific place on site where the water originates? Have to imagine that this was a major concern when they first started to camp out there. The well at Taliesin West is about ...

Re: DailyWright 7.11.22

The photo in question shows entrances to two apartments at the Sun Cottage ... located across the wash and directly to the right of the Apprentice Court.

The apartment to the right was occupied for years by Iovanna and Eve, her daughter. The apartment to the left was usually used as a guest cottage.

Re: Video: Fay Jones' Faubus House - Huntsville, AK

This is one of the least published houses by Jones, yet among the most interesting. The one detail I would take issue with is the choice of arched openings on two of the 4 fireplaces. They look as though they don't really belong in the house. I wonder if a review of his work would show that he made...

The PBS NewsHour is having a "moment" with masters of Midwest architecture, it seems. Tonight's PBS News Weekend contains a segment on a new exhibit of Dale Chihuly's glass creations, said to be the first art exhibit to be held at Taleisin West. https://www.pbs.org/video/chihuly-in-the-de...
