the Taliesin Fellowship in 1932

We Are An Intimate Learning Environment Unlike Any Other

Now in our 91st year of operation, The School of Architecture is forging a new path while honoring the traditions, pedagogy, and philosophy of our past as the Taliesin Fellowship founded by Frank Lloyd Wright. We offer a contemporary design education based on Wright’s philosophy of learning by doing, experimentation, and building with the landscape. We strive to bring lasting innovation, equity, and sustainability to the diverse communities that we serve.

TSOA’s Master of Architecture program is accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB), the sole agency authorized to accredit US professional degree programs in architecture.
