When Wright came back to America from Europe in 1911, he moved to Wisconsin and built a new home and architectural studio for himself in the rolling hills of his childhood. He called the house Taliesin, which is Welsh for "shining brow." He used materials from the surrounding hills for example, rough flat stone, so the buildings would look like they had sprung from the land. By this time Wright's fame as an architect had spread, and many students with similar ideas about creating a new American style of architecture asked to study with him.
