Landscape Architecture Projects to Visit in Phoenix, AZ and El Paso

[Geoffrey Katz]

Taliesin West designed by Frank Lloyd Wright is in Scottsdale, a “suburb” of Phoenix

Arcosanti 65 mi north of Phoenix

And Phoenix itself is worth a visit, because it is so spread out with so many “vacant” areas, if only to understand “sprawl” on first hand, and the efforts to create a downtown core.

Keep us posted on your visits…

Trip is going well. I went by “downtown” Tempe and Tempe Town Lake. Both were really good examples of why pedestrianizing an area can make a space successful. It’s really hot outside right now, so I’ll wait until later this evening to go explore some more.
