For anyone else that's curious Taliesin West is the winter home and architectural school of renowned architect Frank Lloyd Wright.

I just love how his buildings lay comfortably and organically on the landscape and Matterport's 3D rendering does a great job of showing this.

Off-topic: I'm not an architecture buff and still found the (not-too-cheap) tour of Taliesin West well worth the time and money. Worth considering if you're ever in Scottsdale AZ.

Also worth visiting in Scottsdale (not far away, and historically related) is Cosanti, which is free.

Paolo Soleri is a really interesting character

'Tis true. I worked with him fairly closely for five years (1992-1997), so knew him well. Happy to do an AMA for anyone who's interested in the subject.

Yes, Cosanti's definitely interesting. As is Arcosanti itself, if you can spare the time to drive out there (on the way from Phoenix to points north).

The Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation just released a collaboration with an art gallery, Spoke Art (SF), called Timeless, a collection of WPA-style posters by local and international artists. I went to the exhibit when it was at Taliesin West a few weeks ago and ended up buying 2 of the posters to hang in my room. There are 2 more exhibits in the future, one at Taliesin East and one in Spoke Art's sister gallery in NYC. Here is the first of 3 collections for anyone interested: https://spoke-art.com/collections/frank-lloyd-wright-timeles...
