Taliesin West Apprentice Shelters...A new type of Dorm

The students of the Frank Lloyd Wright school are required to live in 10'x10' shelters in the desert when they are in their Scottsdale, Arizona location.  The tents started in the 1930's when the Wright's came out to the Taliesin West there was not enough money to build a structure to shelter everyone, therefore the Wrights and the apprentices designed and built their own shelters. Each of the shelters had strict guidelines from the fellowship, a budget of 1000 dollars and only getting support by local contractors, however they have to help build the structures.  This has been a huge learning experience, some of the building act like ovens during the day, other are open air and therefore cold at night, and others have become lightening rods.
