Timeline

1907

Goff presented Dyson with a catalog from an exhibition of the work of Purcell and Elmslie, an important American organic architecture firm active from 1907 to 1921 Returning to his native state, Dyson discovered William Gray Purcell was living in Pasadena, California.

1940

Arthur Dyson (born February 24, 1940) is an American architect.

Arthur Dyson was born in Inglewood, California, on February 24, 1940, the son of Harry and Thyra Dyson.

1957

While still in high school, he had a paid position in the architectural firm of Bartoli and Skinner from 1957 to 1958.

1958

On June 21, 1958, the Los Angeles Herald Examiner published a photograph of Dyson reporting his acceptance as an apprentice of Frank Lloyd Wright in the Taliesin Fellowship.

Although Dyson would have less than a year in the Taliesin studio before Wright died, a comment during that time from Wright led Dyson to a subsequent internship with Bruce Goff,

someone Life magazine reported to be “one of the few US architects whom Frank Lloyd Wright considers creative.” Reflecting on his brief but profound experience with Wright, Dyson said, "My own apprenticeship was with the truth of organic architecture so profoundly matured in the Master of Frank Lloyd Wright"

1959

From 1959 to 1961, Dyson lived and worked at the Goff office in the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Price Tower in Bartlesville, Oklahoma.

The Carlson Apartment Building project (1959) proposed a 17-story, 36 unit concrete and glass tower designed to overlook the Pacific Ocean at Santa Monica, California.

1962

Purcell hired Dyson as his personal assistant and draftsman from 1962 to 1963.

The two men spent much of their time together reviewing the architectural records of Purcell and Elmslie, and discussing progressive design principles.

Like that of Frank Lloyd Wright, the office of Purcell and Elmslie descended directly from the seminal architectural firm of Louis Sullivan.

In this way, Dyson carries a unique continuity from the Sullivan office through mentorship from Wright and Purcell.

1965

For example, plans for the Lynn Studio and Residence (1965) at a site in Carmel, California, pleased the client greatly but remained unbuilt due to resistance toward financing such a unique design.

However, a number of built houses won attention in local press and international architectural publications, as well as accumulated design awards.

1966

The Cannery Row Hotel project (1966) for a site in Monterey, California further developed the grammar of a multi-story residential tower.

Notable unbuilt projects during this period include the Monterey Institute for the Arts project (1966) in Pacific Grove, California, and the American Indian Center project (1975) in Fresno, California, a museum facility done pro bono to showcase objects relating the history of the Mono and Yokuts people of central California.

1969

Opening an independent practice first in Los Gatos, California and then for a time in Monterey, California, Dyson moved eventually to Fresno, California in 1969.

There he established the office of Arthur Dyson and Associates that remains his base of operations.

Even before leaving the Goff office, Dyson conceived some of his earliest projects on a large scale and using innovative technologies.

1971

In 1971, Dyson developed two schemes for a publicly subsidized children's center constructed in Orange Cove, California that combined both a Head Start and day care operation.

By serving at this same time as chairman of the Urban Planning Task Force in Fresno, Dyson commenced a lifelong journey in public service.

He also began to lecture at colleges, universities, and museums as outreach for progressive design principles.

1972

The Westrend Visitors Center complex project (1972) for a tourist area adjacent to a main highway in the San Joaquin Valley suggested innovative use of textile in a massive circular canopy supported by a spar tower, a creative structural technique that decades later would be adopted by prominent architects.

Residential work provided the most opportunities for construction.

Like many organic architects Dyson could encounter difficulties in realizing individually expressive forms when confronted by the demands of conservative building codes, contractors used to bidding on more familiar building forms, and other obstacles.

1979

The subsequent 27 story Chamlian Plaza Hotel project (1979) in Fresno, California, featured a sophisticated system of suspended structural engineering, prefabricated construction, and a skin of automated solar tempering for guest rooms that virtually eliminated the possibility of being trapped by fire.

One of the most important of these was the Geringer residence (1979) in Kerman, California.

Set amid the long straight lines of a commercial vineyard, Dyson turned the house in on itself as a circular form centered on a swimming pool to establish a relaxing vista shared by the main living areas.

The Geringer house was later published as an exemplar of former Taliesin apprentices who were expressing the organic design philosophy in fresh, creative works.

Dyson also received recognition for the United Packing Company Building [later Fullerton, Lang, Reichert & Patch offices] (1979), a commercial office building in Fresno, California.

From the very start of his professional practice as an architect Dyson sought to demonstrate architecture as a force for community good, particularly in an unpublicized commitment to bring professional architectural services to the causes of the culturally disadvantaged.

1980

Although commissions were executed for other kinds of structures, residential design dominated the output of the Dyson office during the 1980s.

1982

The Bedwell residence (1982) in Fresno, California, represents the first in a series of larger homes (5,800 square feet in this instance) produced during this decade whose massing occurs through the dynamic intersection of angular forms.

1984

Similar broad polygonal forms established the elevations of the Wohlgemuth house (1984) and the Simpson residence (1985), both in Fresno, California.

1985

The Lencioni house (1985) in Sanger, California, produced a particularly unique two story oval form that was also widely recognized.

Appearing in popular magazines, professional journals, architectural yearbooks, and most recently in a college textbook, the composition was cited by important critics such as Bruno Zevi as a superior expression of organic architectural principles.

1988

Positioned on a low rise above stretches of commercial vineyards, the Jaksha residence (1988) in Madera County, California, featured a highly articulated expression of angular design in the floor plan, surrounding decking, and sun tempering trellises.

Professional acclaim for the Jaksha design accumulated quickly and the house was published extensively, including twice in Sunset magazine.

Dyson also produced buildings with arced forms.
