William Adair Bernoudy (1910-1988) was an advocate of Frank Lloyd Wright's modern organic architecture. Bernoudy was a charter apprentice at the Taliesin Fellowship that Wright opened in 1932 and trained under him for three years early in his career.
As an innovative architect in St. Louis, he designed houses that harmonized with the local environment and terrain and was the creator of more than 100 new structures, including the Pulitzer pool and pavilion, the Guthrie house, the Williams villa, and his own private residence. He was also well known for his renovations and additions to existing structures and for his landscape designs.
