It is located in the foothills of the McDowell Mountains in northeast Scottsdale.
During the tour, one experiences Wright's ability to integrate indoor and outdoor spaces.
Unfortunately no photos were allowed in the living quarters, cabaret theater, music pavilion, office and the beautiful garden room.
Lovely bronze sculptures sit on pedestals outside of the music room. (Close up of two below.)
To Wright, architecture was not just about buildings, it was about nourishing the lives of those sheltered within them.
Currently there are 28 students enrolled in a Master's Degree Program at this site. One of the things these students have to do is design and build a shelter out in the desert and live in it.
There are beautiful desert trails around the property….500 acres in all. "Wright's anchor and muse was Nature, which he spelled with a capital 'N.' This was not the outward aspect of nature, but the omnipresent spiritual dimension."
