Today the Taliesin West school is still in operation and allows students to continue to build the desert shelters on the property. Some of the new structures are built on top of the old dilapidated sites of previous students.
Some of the new desert structures vary from nicely constructed well designed bungalows to interesting sculptural forms. With the scenic desert backdrop the shelters provide creative living situations to inspire young Architects.
