Upon my recent trip with Visit Phoenix I had a chance to check out Taliesin West. Before this I had no idea about the genius of Frank Lloyd Wright. The 90 minute tour of the property was quite informational. There were some interesting facts that stayed with my from this tour. Scroll down to read them.
"In the winter of 1938, 70-year-old Frank Lloyd Wright purchased 160 acres at the foot of the McDowell Mountains in present-day Scottsdale to transform into his winter home and studio. Inspired by the southwestern landscape, Wright sought a 'nobly simple' architecture in Taliesin West. Primitive but elegant, Taliesin West's monumental masonry feels as much an ancient ruin unearthed from the Sonoran desert, as the twentieth-century icon of modern architecture that it has become.
Wright's winter camp expanded over the years to include studios, and residential, dining, and performance spaces, all which served the active community of the Fellowship." via
