Mientras tanto, en la vida de Frank Lloyd Wright
La vida entera1932
Founds the Taliesin Fellowship
Wright and his wife Olgivanna, a former pupil of Gurdjieff, invited students to Taliesin to learn architecture and spiritual development while working under the master. Twenty-three came in the first year and 625 joined in Wright's lifetime; the Fellowship supplied workers for Fallingwater, the Johnson Wax Headquarters and the Guggenheim Museum.
1932
The Disappearing City and Broadacre City
In The Disappearing City Wright proposed Broadacre City: a city dissolved into the countryside, its homesteads, farms and workshops linked by roads, with parks and community buildings for its residents. The model covered 2,560 acres for 7,000 people; it was never built.
November 1934
At Bear Run: “live with the waterfall”
Through Edgar Kaufmann Jr., a student at the Taliesin workshop, Wright grew close to the Pittsburgh businessman's family and won the commission for their country house. Visiting the site, he decided to make the waterfall itself part of the house: “I want you to live with the waterfall, not just to look at it.”
