In 1937 Wright bought some land in Arizona and built another home and studio there, which he called Taliesin West. The design of Taliesin West reflects the desert landscape around it. By this time Wright had a large following of students called the Taliesin Fellowship. They would live, work, and study at Taliesin in Wisconsin during the summer and at Taliesin West in Arizona during the winter. Wright's students had to design and build their own cottages because one of Wright's principles was learning about something by doing it. Wright made his students work on the farm just like he did when he was a boy in order to teach them the value and reward of doing something with your hands. On weekends, they would have concerts, plays, discussions, and theatrical readings in the theater they designed for the site. Living and working together was a rewarding experience that the students of Taliesin would remember for the rest of their lives.
