The School of Architecture is a private architecture school in Scottsdale, Arizona. It was founded in 1986 under the name of The Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture as an accredited school by surviving members of the Taliesin Fellowship. The school offers a Master of Architecture program focusing on the organic architecture design philosophy of Frank Lloyd Wright. The school is the smallest accredited graduate architecture program in the United States and emphasizes hands-on learning, architectural immersion, experimentation, and a design-build program that grew out of the Taliesin Fellowships’ tradition of building shelters in the Arizona desert. The school is not ranked by any ranking publications.
The school is located at Cattle Track Arts, a historically significant arts campus in Scottsdale, Arizona. From 2020 to 2023, it was located at the historic campuses of Cosanti in Paradise Valley and Arcosanti near Mayer, Arizona. It was initially located at Wright's estates of Taliesin West in Scottsdale and Taliesin in Spring Green, Wisconsin.
