About
Welcome to the Taliesin Institute. The goal of the Taliesin Institute is to create a community of learners and, in the process, to raise awareness not only about architecture but about ourselves and our society. The Taliesin Institute welcomes diverse audiences to engage deeply with our collections, programs, and spaces. Whether connecting with Taliesin West (AZ) or with Taliesin (WI), the Taliesin Institute fosters an evolving understanding of Frank Lloyd Wright’s architectural principles and their relationship to social politics, education, materials, technology, agriculture, and nature and how these ideas can help address contemporary concerns about inequality, uneven growth, and sustainability.
