By some estimates, Frank Lloyd Wright’s Tullysin West Home Studio Complex took shape in 1941. Republic of Arizona He mainly pointed out that “it may take several years before it is considered end.” You can see the Talysin West new Architectural Digest The above video It is unlikely that it will change dramatically over the next few generations, but it is completely different from what Wright and his apprentice were designed and built while working in the Arizona Desert for the first six years.
