Scottsdale's Architecture & Arts

Scottsdale is a hot spot for inspiring architecture and world-class art offerings; even American Style has voted it one of the “Top 25 Arts Destinations” five times over. And with so much on the cultural to-do list, navigating Scottsdale's arts scene takes time and dedication. Here are some highlights you won't want to miss.

Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin West
Taliesin West was built by Frank Lloyd Wright and his apprentices in the 1930s and was constantly expanded and modified by the architect until his death in 1959. Wright and his apprentices literally created Taliesin West out of the desert by gathering rocks from the desert floor and sand from the washes to keep the design in balance with the surrounding environment. The site, considered one of the Wright's greatest masterpieces, was designed to serve as Wright's personal home, studio and architectural laboratory. Today, visitors can choose from a broad range of tours that showcase Wright's brilliant ability to integrate indoor and outdoor space.
