Hasta La Ideas

Six years after retiring from his long-held post as director of the Canadian Centre for Architecture, Nicolas Olsberg has taken up a new position with the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation. For the next six months, he’ll spend his time carefully digging through the famous architect’s massive, relatively-untouched archives. The collection is said to include 22,000 architectural drawings, 40,000 photographs, 600 manuscripts and 300,000 pieces of correspondence. And more crazy than the sheer volume is that all of it just been sitting “housed in a plain space the size of a utility closet at Taliesin West,” reports the Arizona Republic (albeit, a closet that’s “humidity- and temperature-controlled” of course). Now that they’ve hired Olsberg, they can finally start figuring out just what’s there and what they feel is important to share with the public, as well as deciding where to relocate the collection once it’s all gone through, perhaps even designing a new building for it on the Taliesin property.
