Taliesin West rises from the Sonoran Desert
Scottsdale, Arizona
Frank Lloyd Wright

"Arizona character seems to cry out for a space-loving architecture of its own. The straight line and flat plane must come here - of all places - but they should become the dotted line, the broad, low extended plane textured, because in all this astounding desert there is not one hard undotted line to be seen. The great nature-masonry we see rising from the great mesa floors is ... not architecture at all, but it is inspiration." - Frank Lloyd Wright

Frank Lloyd Wright's plan for Taliesin West resembles a pinwheel. Sharp corners seem to grow from the desert landscape.
