What is Taliesin?

• A. Wright's studio and training facility in Spring Green, Wisconsin
• B. The name of a Wright-designed library in Los Angeles
• C. A sculpture garden by Wright
• D. The architectural firm Wright established in New York

Answer: (A)

Taliesin is Frank Lloyd Wright’s home, studio, and training compound in Spring Green, Wisconsin. It functioned as his living space and the place where he designed buildings and mentored apprentice architects, becoming a base for his early work and the teaching of his architectural ideas. The name comes from the legendary Welsh bard Taliesin, reflecting Wright’s poetic approach to design. It’s not a library in Los Angeles, not a sculpture garden, and not an architectural firm started in New York.
