LAST LOOK 80 | FRONTDOORS MAGAZINE WHERE LIFE AND DESIGN CONVERGED The Drafting Studio at Taliesin West was once the nerve center of Frank Lloyd Wright’s desert experiment, and it remains the center of the famous “historic core” today. Built in 1938 as one of the site’s earliest structures, the studio was more than a workspace: It was where Wright and his Fellowship sketched, argued, dreamed, dined and even slept under a canvas roof. A piano once filled the room with music, a reminder that for Wright, art and life were inseparable. Today, the Drafting Studio stands as a living gallery, filled with drawings and photos of works developed by Wright and his apprentices. This includes drawings of Gammage, The Guggenheim, Marin County Civic Center, Anderton Court (Rodeo Drive), and the Walter House in Iowa. To learn more, visit franklloydwright.org .
