We drove to Arizona State University
In 1957 ASU President Grady Gammage decided to have a distinctive auditorium built on the Tempe Campus. He approached Frank Lloyd Wright for help with the project. Wright had drawn up plans for an opera house in Bagdad, Iraq that would never be built. Adjustments were made for the college project. The architect died in 1959 without seeing his project completed.
There it is...
I can see why some people
think it looks like a
wedding cake.
Eric pulls into the parking lot
so I can take pictures.
The elevated bridge reminds me
of the ramp to the upper level
I go up onto the bridge to get
a few pictures.
The auditorium seats 3,017 people.
Scalloped accents framing
archways remind me of
A shot of the entry, straight on
The colors of the building
are perfect in this desert
setting.
