WORKSHOP:

FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT,
TALIESIN EAST, AND
ECOLOGICAL DESIGN

Students, design professionals, and educators are welcome.

Join us in a historic architectural event:

A study of nature-based architecture at Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin. Spring Green, Wisconsin,

July 21 - July 29, 2006.

The San Francisco Institute of Architecture and

the Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture

are teaming up to do an in-depth study of

Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin.

Help examine existing facilities, to discover the

possibilities for such historic buildings, in terms

of energy savings, solar energy, eco-sensitive

retrofits, biological waste treatment, and more.

We'll study the principles of ecological design,

learn from Frank Lloyd Wright and other historic

pioneers, and discover new opportunities for

green building and historic preservation.

Frank Lloyd Wright revolutionized modern architecture with
the essentials of ecological design and green building:

Bioclimatic Design
Nature-Based Site Planning
Green Roofs
Interior Daylighting
Radiant Heating
Passive Solar Heating
Natural Evaporative Air Cooling
Interior Plantscaping
Lumber-Saving "Frameless" Construction
Alternative Adobe and Earth-Sheltered Construction
Double-Pane windows and numerous other innovations in climate control,
lighting, and economic uses of natural and alternative materials.

This workshop will include daily presentations on all these topics

and all other elements of ecological design. There will be guest

lectures, field trips to local Frank Lloyd Wright buildings,

ample time for personal studies, drawing, design, photography, etc.

The program is led by Fred Stitt, Architect;

Director, San Francisco Institute of Architecture; creator of the

Ecological Design Handbook, published by McGraw-Hill,

and the upcoming Eco Wave, to be published by W.W. Norton;

and organizer of numerous national conferences

and workshops on nature-based architecture.
