E X P E R I M E N T S A N D S P E C U L AT I V E I D E A S

The selection of work in this portfolio was developed in a period of over two decades at the Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture and the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation (together I refer to them as Taliesin). It comprises institutional identity, branding, marketing materials, and the design of academic and administrative documents. On occasion, I explored and experimented with abstract graphics for communications in serial pieces (theme and variation) or in some cases for special events and anniversary celebrations. By and large, the work for the Foundation retains a disciplined tenor, in part to use the various protected trademarks consistently, and the work for the School ventures in a more fluid and open direction, capturing the living characteristics of a contemporary design education in line with the Taliesin legacy graphics. Managing the visual identity of anything Frank Lloyd Wright—let alone creating new material that is both fresh but also in keeping with the trajectory set forth by the founder—is a colossal task even for the brave. As simplistic and unvarying this might sound, the way out of this challenge is through. I realized ov er time that the nature of the approach like a “two-part invention.” One aspect is to ground the design ideas and their execution on the very notion of principle (an unwavering core in the idea), which ties it to a purpose. The other aspect is to ground the ideas on the particular principles that Wright discovered, formulated, and exemplified, which poses the challenge of staying true to the principles without copying or mimicking the original.

to the root. This alone differentiates this approach from the “freer” creative processes that purport to owe nothing to a precedent state—the pure-expression syndrome. In particular, the principles that Wright’s work exemplifies are identifiable and specific, compared to their intangible theoretical aspects. Wright saw nature as the ultimate design source, but not free for the taking. He developed a method of abstraction through geometry and pattern in order to grow his inspiration from nature but at the same time not exploit or mimic it. He called that “emulation” rather than “imitation.” It should be identifiable in the work shown here that there is disciplined geometric order in the composition of the pieces; from regular grids, to composite grids, to proportional dynamic systems. A key factor in all compositions is the unafraid use of “white space” (areas void of content that counterbalance those with text and images). Often this space holds solid color (or parallel ruling and other textures) and engages the edges of a piece with selective bleeds (as opposed to full bleeds all around). These elements in tandem generate a consistent appearance while allowing for individualization. The ultimate spirit of this work is likened to the music art form of the remix. Still a taboo in the realm of design, the reworking of a strong idea to extract a different aspect of it without destroying it or insulting it is very appealing to me. I do hope that it matures for design as it has for music.

F R A N K L L O Y D W R I G H T F O U N D AT I O N I D E N T I T Y The identity of the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation is rooted in the evolution of the graphical identity of Frank Lloyd Wright’s design and architectural practice. Wright’s attractive signature (and its counterpart, his initials FLLW) became strong visual identifiers for his design philosophy. Together with those, the red square, in its many variations over the decades, was and remains the instant identifier of Wright’s legacy. The special color red originated in a Japanese ink used by Ukiyo-e woodblock artists for their seals. Wright often signed over the red square on his famous presentation drawings, and he even installed a red square ceramic tile with his initials carved in it on those of his buildings that he thought were built to his standards. These were the very early days of “branding” as we know it today. From the founding of the Taliesin Fellowship in 1932, each iteration of the red square marked a significant event in the evolution of the collective ideas Wright refined in the second half of his life and career. The Fellowship logo introduced four open corner mars on the red square, expressing the open-mindedness intention of the group.

Ditital remixes of both Taliesin West and Taliesin by Eugene Masselink were created for the respetive anniversaries of the campuses.

For the 50-year celebration of the Guggenheim Museum in New York, I discovered an unused design by Wright for a gate and treated it as an illus19 tration theme for the event.

Vern says he can never remember not wanting to study with Mr. Wright, but it was not until he was in his first years studying architecture at the University of Illinois that he was interviewed at Taliesin in Wisconsin. He finished the school year and in January 1957, he became Frank Lloyd Wright’s youngest apprentice at Taliesin West. He remained with the Wright Foundation for 21 years, serving as a member of Taliesin Architects and directing two seminars, Housing and Large Scale Land Use Planning and the Art and Philosophy of Frank Lloyd Wright. Years later he served on the Foundation’s board, including a © 2008 Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation Graphics by Aris Georges: geometric abstraction of an old pine tree at the entrance to Taliesin. Dedicated to the resilient vision of the Taliesin Fellowship.

SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE IDENTITY The identity of the Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture is an extension of the Foundation’s identity but explores directions that exemplify the living vitality of the School. The red square logo encases the word Taliesin, in lieu of the FLLWSA accronym, which was deemed cumbersome both to pronunce and to represent graphically. As the School is the natural continuation of the Taliesin Fellowship, the board of trustees allowed the School to refer to itself as Taliesin, the general idea of a learning-by-doing educaiton.

Taliesin the Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture is pleased to provide one of

FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE

the most unique educational experiences

“Perhaps the hippest dormitory in the world.” — New York Times

The professional Master of Architecture (M.Arch) program at the Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture prepares students in advanced design integrated with professional practice in the intense setting of Taliesin’s educational community. Graduates of the program are prepared to enter leadership roles within the architectural profession and become licensed architects upon completion of internship experience and passing the architectural exam. Entrants to the M.Arch program have an undergraduate degree, typically in architecture or a related field. Those with an undergraduate degree in a field unrelated to architecture are encouraged to apply to the program if they can demonstrate advanced critical thinking in other fields and an ability to communicate graphically. Applicants must have at least 36 credit-hour equivalents in college-level calculus, physics, chemistry or biology, English composition, humanities, history, psychology or anthropology, and art/design. All applicants must demonstrate ability in hand and computer-aided drafting. The M.Arch degree program generally requires two and a half to three full years to complete.

available in higher education, designed for students who thrive in a multifaceted environment pursuing rigorous design, critical thinking, and hands-on learning. The small scale of the School facilitates a highly focused educational experience and fosters a close relationship between students, faculty, and staff. A progressive curriculum offers a variety of studios, classes, and projects.

New students typically enroll in October in Arizona. Applications are accepted throughout the year. To learn more about the application process, deadlines, and request School publications and application materials, please visit the School’s website or contact the Director of Admissions.

The Bachelor of Architectural Studies (BAS) program provides an undergraduate degree for students who thrive in a multifaceted environment that focuses on rigorous design, critical thinking, and hands-on learning. Graduates of the program are prepared to enter professional-level graduate schools in architecture and related fields.

“Every great architect is - necessarily - a great poet. He must be a great original interpreter of his time, his day, his age.” — Frank Lloyd Wright

Entrants to the BAS program have at least 27 credit-hour equivalents in college-level calculus, physics, chemistry or biology, English composition, humanities, history, psychology or anthropology, and art/design. All applicants must demonstrate ability in hand and computer-aided drafting. The BAS degree program is generally completed in three to four years, depending upon academic background prior to entry. Tuition for both programs is $30,000 per year and may be raised annually. Limited School-sponsored scholarships are available to students demonstrating financial need and academic merit. Title IV funding is available via Direct Loans and GradPlus Loans. VA funding is also available.

Tuition for both programs is $30,000; tuition is raised annually. Limited School-sponsored scholarships are available to students demonstrating financial need and academic merit. The School is considering a return to full Title IV funding; students with previous Title IV loans are eligible for deferments while enrolled, however. Alternative loans are available through most major lending institutions. VA funding is also available.

— New York Times

Taliesin, the Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture offers programs leading to two degrees: the pre-professional Bachelor of Architectural Studies (BAS) and the professional Master of Architecture (M.Arch). The school, including both degree programs, is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools, www.ncahlc.org 800.621.7440, 30 N. LaSalle Street, Suite 2400, Chicago, IL 60602. The Master of Architecture degree is also accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting Board, www.naab.org. In the United States, most state registration boards require a degree from an accredited professional degree program as a prerequisite for licensure. The National Architectural Accrediting Board is the sole agency authorized to accredit U.S. professional degree programs in architecture.

The professional Master of Architecture (M.Arch) program prepares students in advanced design integrated with professional practice in the intense setting of Taliesin’s educational community. Graduates of the program are prepared to enter leadership roles within the architectural profession and become licensed architects upon completion of internship experience and passing the architectural exam. Residence life at the School is based on Frank Lloyd Wright’s strongly-held belief that, “a great architect is not made by way of a brain nearly so much as he is made by way of a cultivated, enriched heart.” Community involvement at Taliesin provides opportunities for students to explore the social and cultural contexts of architecture and to integrate and apply the content, philosophies, and disciplines of all learning through the experience and social interaction of daily living and community maintenance.

Entrants to the M.Arch program have an undergraduate degree, typically in architecture or a related field. Those with an undergraduate degree in a field unrelated to architecture are encouraged to apply to the program if they can demonstrate advanced critical thinking in other fields and an ability to communicate graphically. Applicants must have at least 36 credit-hour equivalents in college-level calculus, physics, chemistry or biology, English composition, humanities, history, psychology or anthropology, and art/design. All applicants must demonstrate ability in hand and computer-aided drafting. The M.Arch degree program generally requires two and a half to three full years to complete.

FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE

The Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture looks for the promise of skill and design ability in its applicants. The portfolio is an opportunity to present past work, skill level in both computer and hand drawings, and broad interests through architectural work, sketches, photography, or other media. The admissions team looks for competency in the tools of architectural discipline and a capacity for design thinking, though does not expect fully-formed architectural work. Examples of process work and other examples of design thinking are also encouraged. A winning application portfolio will provide examples of: - hand drawing and/or sketching - computer-generated architectural drawings: floor plans and sections, for example, showing an understanding of the architectural discipline - three-dimensional architectural models, either hand-built or computer-generated Organizing the portfolio by specific projects often helps provide variety while also enabling a project to express depth of investigation - A short description of each project is often appropriate to convey the project ideas to the reviewers. - A project can convey ideas about connections to other disciplines or passions In addition to the above, a few representative examples of non-architectural work can be helpful: paintings, sculptures, photography. A strong application will show a balance between technical skills and artistic vision, showing a well-rounded, curious, and engaged applicant.

THE STUDENT BOX PROJECTS The student Box Projects were the main design projects students developed in their program, and it roots back to the Fellowship years when apprentices would prepare a design gift for Wright’s birthday in June and at Christmas in December, and put all the designs in a specially made box and present it to him. He would take each design out and give a short critique to the apprentice. Over the years, the School developed the Box Project to be the end of a studio course and the final reviews included formal presetnations, faculty crts, and a social celebration with exhibition. One of my ongoing projects was to take the student work and reconfigure it into an 11x17 poster that was used on their website gallery pages. I was able to continue the graphic design course I was teaching through example. Often students made boards for their projects that didn’t arrange the elements of the design as effectively as was possible. By showing them an alternative presentation format through my approach, I was able to discuss with each one of them about effective ways to design their boards. At times I would make special posters for a Box Project event, as well as design a theme for the digital presentations and design introductory slides as well as divider slides for each project. Each occurence was a new design, mostly elaborating the notion of “destroying the box” that Wright often called one of the tenets of his architecture.

11x17 Box Project posters using a dynamic template that allowed each design to be shown most effectivel. The common bar with the project name was moved to match the size of the main image, 44 creating unique results for each design.

Various designs for the Box Project events included posters, invitations, schedules, slide presentation introductory and divider images, etc.

SCHOOL EXHIBIT BOARDS Between 2007-2015 I was the main designer of the graphics used in various exhibitions of design work in the School. These ranged from in-house exhibits, to public exhibits at the two campuses or other venues. At times I would have senior students helping me so I can impart directly the ideas and work ethic necessary for a succesful demonstration of the design philosophy of the School.
