This one-hour tour showcases Wright's brilliant ability to integrate indoor and outdoor spaces. The Cabaret Cinema, Music Pavilion, Seminar Theater and Wright's private office are linked by dramatic terraces, walkways and splashing fountains overlooking the rugged Sonoran desert and Valley below. Knowledgeable guides explain how the site relates to the natural desert and provide a general overview of Wright's basic theories of architectural design. This room is covered by a sloping, translucent roof.
Expansive windows link the interior space to a garden on the east and to the horizon on the south.
A large fireplace dominates the far end of the room. At the other end is an alcove which served as an intimate, private dining area for the Wrights. Summer Insight visitors have the opportunity to sit in Wright-designed furniture and experience firsthand the drama of being a guest in Wright's famous Garden Room. In addition, the Summer Insights tour includes the spaces shown on the Panorama tours. This twilight tour offers visitors the unusual opportunity to view Wright's desert masterpiece in a dramatic night time setting.
