SPRING GREEN -- Thousands come each year to the Wisconsin River valley where Frank Lloyd Wright built his home and tested his ideas about building in harmony with nature.
Nestled on a hillside overlooking the river, Wright's Taliesin has the cantilever roofs, wide windows, great room and open floor plan that became some of the architect's trademarks.
The design concepts, revolutionary in Wright's time, are now widely taught in architecture schools and common among builders concerned about the environment.
"He spans generations," said Robert Mattison, a professor of art history and architecture at Lafayette College in Easton, Pa. "There is a parallel between (Wright's) idea of organic architecture and what we call sustainability today, and that's what makes it interesting."
