Tim Wright is teacher, curriculum designer, documentary filmmaker, writer and occasional lecturer. He studied at Columbia University (BA), the University of Chicago (MA) and was a Prize Fellow at Harvard University (ABD). He has recently retired from teaching, lives in Chicago and is restoring prairie with his corporate consultant wife on 113 acres of land they own near the Taliesin estate. His relationship to the current School of Architecture goes back to the nineteen fifties where he spent three summers as a non-architectural apprentice while Frank Lloyd Wright was still alive. His documentary film Conservation of Matter, on the recycling of the Boston Elevated Subway won the New England Film Festival in 1997; he taught both Film and Architecture and Visual Literacy to Taliesin architectural students from 2006 to 2017 and developed an illustrated lecture on Wright and his Family Clients for the Lancaster Historical Society. He has subsequently helped fund the school and has lectured on Wright’s life and work for events sponsored by Taliesin Preservation Inc.
