This video takes you on a guided tour of a 500 acre property created by Frank Lloyd Wright in the desert of Scottsdale, Arizona. There are several creative tiny shelters, dorms, and cabins on the property all designed and built as experiments by the architecture students.
You’ll find a hanging tent, a few cabins, a canvas tent shelter, and more. Students of the Taliesin Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture also get access to a communal kitchen and a studio to work with.
When the students arrive, they’re able to choose a structure to live in for the duration of their stay at the school. Usually this is several months. Then they can choose to remodel, rehab, and work on a current shelter or design and build their own from scratch on the property.

I bet the students fight over that pod thing. That is too cool. What a great opportunity!
Excellent that they are studying the creation of small spaces. It takes much more creativity and ingenuity to create a beautiful and livable home when working with square footage in the hundreds rather than thousands. It is easy to throw plans onto paper, but living in them while they are modifying them or building their own structure will provide them with a more practical perspective. Two thumbs up!
