| - Frank Lloyd Wright lived an interesting life, it seems, and many of his architectural designs reflect that. This was Wright's seasonal home, where he could escape the harsh winters of the Midwest.
We took the late morning tour. Their tour guides range in experience and...frankly, skill. The one we got was a little bit nervous (it was only her second tour) and her presentations came across as rehearsed. That was okay, though, as she had a pleasant attitude and a genuine passion for Wright's work (which came out in conversation, not her presentation). Overall, the tour was still incredibly informative. Organic Architecture, Deconstructing the Box, Building for Democracy. Fantastic.
I wish I had time to take the twilight tour, as Taliesin West is lit up at night. I imagine a dramatic scene next to the moonlit desert landscape. Go check it out if you enjoy design and especially if you're a fan of Wright.
