| - As someone who finds the study of Frank Lloyd Wright - his life and achitecture - interesting, a visit to Taliesin West in Scottsdale was essential. I've already been to Taliesin in Spring Green, Wisconsin. Visiting the West School brings my understanding of Wright's life and work to a more complete conclusion.
The property is located, appropriately at the "brow of the hill" overlooking the Scottsdale/Phoenix valley. The location and tours are well promoted, well attended, and professionally managed. Much like Taliesin in Spring Green, this is a step back in time. The Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation has done a superior job of preserving Taliesin West as it appeared in Wright's final years of life. Their tour guides are well versed in his architecture, life, and philosophies - which are all very interesting.
Even if you've never delved into the world of architecture, or if you know nothing about Frank Lloyd Wright - Taliesin West is a must see in the Scottsdale area. Once there, you'll begin to understand why Wright is still so famous and you'll learn how his architecture, his philosophies, and his vision is still influencing American life and buildings even today.
