===Taliesin Fellowship=== In 1932, Wright and his wife Olgivanna put out a call for students to come to Taliesin to study and work under Wright while they learned architecture and spiritual development. Olgivanna Wright had been a student of [[G. I. Gurdjieff]] who had previously established a similar school. Twenty-three came to live and work that year, including [[John H. Howe (architect)|John (Jack) H. Howe]], who would become Wright's chief draftsman.<ref>Hession, Jane and Quigley, Tim, ''John H.
