Photo of the Day – Metropolitan
Architectural Photography, Arizona Photography, Phoenix Area Photography, Photo of the Day 2 CommentsI have never been to the Sistine Chapel, nor to Europe for that matter, so the image of the Chapel on this Vatican site truly amazed me. I’m not sure if it is color enhanced or digitally improved in any way. And I am sure it does not do justice to seeing it in person, but it is just cool to see until such time you can get yourself to Europe.

Architectural Photography – Gammage Auditorium
Architectural Photography, Arizona Photography, Tempe Area Photography No CommentsDesigned by Frank Lloyd Wright, Grady Gammage Auditorium sits on the campus of Arizona State University. Although neither Wright nor Gammage lived to see the building constructed it was their partnership that brought the auditorium to life. Originally designed as an opera house for Baghdad, Iraq, Wright adapted it to the campus of ASU as part of Gammage’s vision to create a university auditorium that stood out from all others. It was Wright’s only public building in Arizona, the home of the western campus of his Taliesin School of Architecture.
The building reaches the height of an 8 story building and can seat over 3,000 people. It has become Arizona State’s iconic structure with its prominent location at the intersections of Apache Blvd. and Mill Ave. Today the auditorium plays host to everything from Broadway musicals to symphonic concerts to lectures and solo performances.
Above all else, Gammage Auditorium stands out to me because of its architecture, both exterior and interior. From the repeated use of circles to the copper and pink tones that show their best in the setting sun this is a classic Wright design.
