Fringe benefits

Article Abstract:

An apprentice of the Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture narrates his experience living in the desert surrounded Taliesin West of Scottsdale, AR. He was required to stay in this area because the founder of his school believes that the environment is the greatest architecture teacher of all. The architecture student described how he built his desert habitat which was basically made of materials from junk piles, metal yards and those donated by fabricated companies.

Muscle shirts would be worn by many. One video character only wears a pair of shorts and combat boots.
