Philip D. Allsopp served as President and CEO of the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, headquartered at Taliesin West, Arizona from 2006 through June of 2009.  He was responsible for restructuring the Foundation from governance (new bylaws and articles of incorporation) through operations and the development of new relationships with academia, arts and culture organizations, government and business.  One of several collaborations Phil developed during his tenure was with the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation.  The jointly curated, produced and designed exhibition entitled “Frank Lloyd Wright: From Within Outward”, broke all of the Guggenheim’s previous attendance records during exhibition’s three-month run at the Guggenheim in New York.  The Exhibition travelled to the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao in October where it will be running through February 14th, 2010.

He is co-founder of Transpolis Global, LLC, a hybrid management and design consulting firm devoted to improving urban and rural policy and the habitats under which communities, cultures, commerce, the arts and sciences are able to thrive.   Transpolis Global works with clients as both a catalyst for action as well as an applied research entity through its formal linkages to key universities.  The name Transpolis encompasses two ideas; ‘Trans’ as in Transdisciplinary to cross and converge traditional disciplines operating in relative isolation, and 'Polis' as in city-state, and the notion of citizenship.
