Frank Lloyd Wright is recognized as “the greatest American architect of all time” by the American Institute of Architects. Learn more him and his work with this virtual tour.
Wright designed well over a thousand homes and buildings, five hundred thirty-two of which were built. Recently, ten of his most famous buildings have been nominated by the United States for inclusion to the UNESCO World Heritage list.
This website presented by the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation provides a virtual tour of one of those buildings, Taliesin West in Scottsdale, Arizona.
When arriving at this site, scroll down to the first video: Frank Lloyd Wright Digital Innovation. Learn about the architecture and the new technology used for the virtual tour.
Then scroll down and click play to begin the 360-degree panoramic tour of Taliein West. Click on “Help” at the bottom for instructions on how to navigate through.
When you are done exploring on your own, scroll down to the next video to see the property in point cloud form – a dimensionally accurate laser-captured representation of the property.
This website provides a glimpse into the world of the famous architect.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
