Taliesin West



Taliesin West was Frank Lloyd Wright's Phoenix home and school for architects. The day after we were there the architecture school announced they were closing after 90 years of producing architects. They could no longer get along with the Foundation that now runs the Wright properties.

Arcosanti




Arcosanti is an urban design experiment by architect Paolo Soleri to use minimal land and resources to meet the needs of about 5,000 people. Soleri died in 2001, but the community persists by  catering to tourists and selling handicrafts, mostly cast metal bells and ceramics.  There are now fewer than 100 people living in its remote Arizona desert location.
