This one-hour tour is popular with visitors who don t have the time to take a longer tour. It introduces visitors to 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. Visitors will tour the main complex of buildings at Taliesin West including the dramatic Taliesin West Living Room.
Students learn how abstract skills, such as math and science, are used to create real structures.
This twilight tour offers visitors the unusual opportunity to view Wright's desert masterpiece in a dramatic night time setting. The buildings, lighted from within, appear as sculptures, the fire-breathing dragon is lit, and the lights from the Valley below create a dramatic, romantic setting. The tour includes everything on the Insights Tour plus light refreshments. Reservations requested but not required. Thursday, and Saturday mornings only, starting at 9 am.
