Taliesin West, designed by the renowned architect Frank Lloyd Wright, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site located in Scottsdale, Arizona. Serving as Wright's winter home from 1937 until his death in 1959, for many years the site housed a school of architecture that taught Wright's philosophy.
Taliesin West showcases the use of local, natural materials and organic architecture. The desert rocks and sand blends seamlessly into the arid desert landscape. The complex includes living quarters, studios, a pool and performance spaces.
The surrounding desert landscape, with Saguaro cacti and panoramic mountain views, provide a stunning backdrop that enhance the experience. Today, the site operates as the headquarters of the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation and offers guided tours, educational programs, exhibitions, and events that provide insights into Wright's life, work, and architectural philosophy.
