No better way to feed the soul and inspire the creativity than spending several hours at Paolo Soleri’s Cosanti right here in the hood in Scottsdale. Mr. Soleri has built himself quite a place of earth-formed concrete structures to showcase his bronze and ceramic windbells for which he is so famous. After studying at Frank Lloyd Wright’s Taliesen West during the 1940’s, he returned from Italy in the 50’s and purchased this incredible piece of property right in the heart of the desert.
I visited Cosanti probably 20 years ago, but now with my photography passion it was such a different experience. I could have stayed for days meandering the courtyards and paths…sitting under the olive trees…just experiencing…
Sharing a few of my favorites…and hoping you enjoy them as well! If you’re ever in the Phoenix area of Arizona, this is a must see!
