Bruce Brooks Pfeiffer was the founding director of the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation Archives. Bruce came across an August 1946 issue of Fortune magazine detailing the life of America's greatest architect in his two homes, Taliesin and Taliesin West. Bruce's interest was sparked. Pfeiffer joined the Taliesin Fellowship in 1949, where he worked as an apprentice of Wright, leaving for a year to study at the École Nationale Superiéure des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Upon his arrival at Taliesin West, Bruce became a vital component to Fellowship life due to the nearly immediate bond he formed with the Wrights. Bruce was trusted as a social facilitator and significant part of the community. After Wright's death, Pfeiffer established the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation Archives, where he catalogued the collections of Wright's drawings, manuscripts, letters, and other documents. Pfeiffer became the consummate resource for information on Wright's body of work. As a scholar himself, Pfeiffer drew on this material for numerous publications and for the creation of such critical works as the five-volume series Frank Lloyd Wright: Collected Writings (1992); the massive three volume Frank Lloyd Wright: The Complete Works (2009); and his most recent book, The Life of Olgivanna Lloyd Wright (2017). A building by Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) is at once unmistakably individual, and evocative of an entire era. Notable for their exceptional understanding of an organic environment, as well as for their use of steel and glass to revolutionize the interface of indoor and outdoor, Wrights designs helped announce the age of modernity, as much as they secured his own name in the annals of architectural genius. Based on unlimited access to the Frank Lloyd Wright Archives in Taliesin, Arizona, the collection spans the length and breadth of Wrights projects, both realized and unrealized, from his early Prairie Houses, through the Usonian concept home, epitomized by Fallingwater, the Tokyo years, his progressive living architecture buildings, right through to later schemes like the Guggenheim Museum, New York, and fantastic visions for a better tomorrow in the living city. Author Bruce Brooks Pfeiffer, who served as Wrights apprentice during the 1950s, discusses recent research on Wright and gives his own insights on these game-changing buildings.
