  • I can't believe I almost overslept on my last day in Arizona and missed out on this gem. Good thing we made it just in time for the 9am tour. 90 minutes may seem like a long time but it flew by because Ernie, our guide, was so informative and interesting. I felt like I got my full $32 worth out of the experience. In a way, Taliesin West is like a museum. But unlike other "museum" tours I've been on, everything was very hands on. We were encouraged to experience the architecture and space the way it was designed. We sat in the Frank Lloyd Wright designed chairs in his living room and visited his living quarters. We also saw his office space and various entertainment venues. Every inch of the space was designed deliberately. The repeating geometric patterns were very interesting. What was surprising to me was that there is an architecture school on site that offers bachelors and masters degrees. The school was started during the Great Depression as a means for Wright to obtain a steady income stream despite the decline in demand due to the economic downturn. Ernie enthusiastically described the responsibilities of the original students (aka apprentices). My conclusion? They were basically Wright's slaves. When Mr. Wright wanted to build a road, he asked his apprentices to pave a path. When Mr. Wright wanted rocks to construct Taliesin West, he asked his apprentices to carry 1-man, 2-man, and 3-man -sized rocks from the surrounding area. And do you know where he let him apprentices sleep? In tents and sleeping bags. All I can say is that I hope the students today are treated better than that. But in the end, I'm here to rate the tour and not the students. The tour was fun and educational and I would recommend it to everyone visiting the area.
