  • The reasons I am giving Taliesin West four stars are because the cost for a tour is very expensive and I could barely hear the tour guide, although she was very informative, but did not have the ability to project her voice to a group. Also, while we were in the office and the softspoken tourguide was lecturing, people in the office were taking phone calls and talking and it was very disruptive. Otherwise, I would totally give this remarkable masterpiece five stars. I have been wanting to visit Taliesin West ever since I saw a PBS documentary on Frank Lloyd Wright a month or so ago. He had a fascinating life! He was a total egomaniac (kind of deservedly so), he married three times and had a mistress as well, and lived a very full life. He is essentially the face of American architecture. Wright's home and outer buildings in Scottsdale is nothing short of amazing. I am a total ingenue when it comes to architecture terms so if you want real descriptions then you should read about it on the Taliesin website or in a book. However, the site Taliesin was on was really neat and overlooked beautiful Arizona landscape. On the tour, I learned about the process of building Taliesin, some aspects of the architecture school (I think it is really cool that the students get to design their own places to live), and a little about Frank Lloyd Wright and his third wife, who encouraged his architecture on the West Coast. The sculpture garden was a really amazing part of the tour, as was the underground dinner theatre. The giftshop features a wide array of tasteful souvenirs and though I really wanted an exclusive Wright-style Christmas ornament, I only bought a guide book, some postcards, and a magnet. I was satisfied with my purchases and memories of that day. I hope that I am able to visit more of Wright's homes and buildings in the future.
