Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Edgar A. Tafel was an American architect, best known as a disciple of Frank Lloyd Wright. Tafel was born in New York City to Russian Jewish immigrants, and moved to New Jersey with his dressmaking parents. He was educated at the Ferrer Colony and Ferrer Modern School, the Walden School in Manhattan and New York University. Tafel began his career as an apprentice to Frank Lloyd Wright at Taliesin along with Wesley Peters, John Howe and Abram Dombar, among others. Tafel was considered the "unofficial guardian of the Frank Lloyd Wright School", despite the rift that had developed between Tafel and his late mentor when Tafel left Taliesin to pursue his own work and family. Tafel worked on several of Wright's most famous projects including Fallingwater, Wingspread, and the Johnson Wax Headquarters. Tafel served in a photographic analysis unit during World WarII, afterwards opening his own architectural office in New York City
