Frank Lloyd Wright’s impact on architecture is still felt 41 years after his death and will be felt for years to come through a gift from Professor Thomas Howarth, dean emeritus of architecture. He has endowed a fellowship that will allow graduate students in the Faculty of Architecture, Landscape, and Design to study at Taliesin West, a 600-acre community of architects and students in Scottsdale, Ariz., designed by Wright. Howarth knows the value of learning away from home: “When I was at the University of Manchester in the 1930s, I had the opportunity to study in Italy on a travelling fellowship,” he says. “Those travels as a student gave me a whole new design awareness.”
