  • I have to imagine that a great unicorn rests below the intersection of Frank Lloyd Wright & Scottsdale Roads....and this is his mighty blue horn! That's my natural way to admire this spire! Admire the spire. That's kinda Unicorn-y. Could go on a t-shirt or a bumper sticker. I digress. Digression and discombobulation is what happens though, when I get to thinking about the spire and Lloyd Wright. Having only viewed it from afar until recently, I'd always thought that it was a bit of an eyesore! (I know, perhaps I'm alone in this camp.) and that was BEFORE I'd come to learn that it's a FLW design. My understanding of FLW & prairie lines & "blending" into natural surroundings was completely thrown here. I even recall, at Taleisin (FLW's winter camp back in the day) how the tour guide emphasized that ...even when the power lines went in, FLW had a fit - noting how they interfered with the natural view. Anyway, the spire is said to evoke images of the desert - (btw, it was originally conceived for a 1950's proposal for the AZ state capitol that was rejected) - the reaching skyward saguaro and the jagged, rugged desert plants. I can see that now and can appreciate that aspect (though I think it a bit of a stretch at 125 ft). The green grounds and canopied area are well-kept. The water features are pleasing. The sculptures are interesting. Something though is restless. I tried for a nap, but I think there's a bit too much of a sense of hustle n bustle. (Which is odd since I can kick back in a place like Millenium Park, Chicago.) It's a lot more yang than yin here, (busy parking lot, bustling intersection, giant jagged horn) probably better for a quick walk through and then grab lunch at the Maggiano's patio and look upon it from there. I'll keep coming back though. I imagine Frank LW bare-backing that unicorn, will rise up and explain somethin to me. I bet he's wearing that t-shirt! "Admire the Spire, biatch"
