The work of Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) is recognized worldwide as pivotal to the development of modern architecture. Through a deep understanding of our relationship with the natural world, Wright?s ideas and designs were inspired by organic forms. His vision, ?to make life more beautiful, the world a better one for living in, and to give rhyme, reason, and meaning to life? is carried on through the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation and represented on the World Heritage List.
Frank Lloyd Wright discovered several large petroglyphs originating from the O?odham peoples on the land he purchased to build Taliesin West. Inspired by a spiral design resembling two hands joined in friendship, Wright adopted this symbol for the Taliesin Fellowship, calling it the ?whirling arrow?. Today, it remains the logo of Taliesin West, Wright’s winter home and studio.
