Frank Lloyd Wright in Arizona

at Taliesin West

My sister took to me to Taliesin West outside Scottsdale on a recent trip to visit her in Arizona.

Wright always elicits strong opinions, but it's worth a trip out west to see how Wright built in the very different climate and natural surroundings there.

There are some obvious concessions to 1950s midwestern landscaping here -- notice the verdant lawn -- but with those exceptions, Wright was practicing a lot of the low-impact, local-material building practices espoused today.
