• Resumen

  • Among the eight Frank Lloyd Wright's buildings recently inscribed on UNESCO's World Heritage List, Taliesin is a central creation in the architect's carrer. Built in Wisconsin from 1911, the complex is the second of Wright's three homes and studios. Taliesin is the first of what Wright called a "Natural house". The architect wanted to create a perfect match between the building and his site. The relationship to the landscape environment is no longer analogical (dertermined by the forms of a certain architectural tradition), but homological (dictated by the desire to design a building in symbiosis with its mineral, vegetal, and animal environment). This article seeks to analyze the relationship between Taliesin and its site and to determine in what way the landscape impacts the architecture, whether in its aesthetic or spatial dimension. To do so, I will first focus on the concept of organic architecture developed by Wright, and then examine the synesthetic and empathetic fallouts created by the complex on its visitor by defining the role and the impact of the views leading from the building to its site
