While the sun and affordability have been bringing droves of people here for decades, there’s a lot of incredible stuff keeping them around
f there’s one place East Coast snobs have no compunction about turning up their noses at when it’s mentioned, it’s Phoenix. The sprawl, the newness, the topsoil-thin culture—there’s nothing to do, they’ll say. People will sheepishly share that their Christmas plans involve going to their parents’ place in,, Scottsdale.
Or, head to midtown Phoenix, where one finds not only the Phoenix Art Museum but also the Heard, which is another expansive museum where one can spend hours focusing on Southwestern Native American art. Usually in a museum I try to ignore the other people visiting, but at the Heard it was impossible not to notice that there were more people taking photos of the paintings, sculptures, textiles, jewelry, masks, and other objects than in any museum I’ve ever been in. The works on display are just.
But architectural tourism isn’t all about gargantuan buildings by famous architects. During my visit I called the Phoenician home. Part of Marriott’s Luxury Collection, the resort is perched in the shadow of Camelback Mountain and housed in a sort of futurist concrete arc set within lush grounds. It’s just around the corner from the house Frank Lloyd Wright built for his son David and his wife Gladys, only one of three spiral designs Wright ever built and predating the Guggenheim.
