I hootdoddled into Tempe for a couple days to attend an atmospheric water harvesting conference and had a wee but of time during a break and walking back to the hotel to gawk at Frank Lloyd Wright's Grady Gammage Memorial Auditorium built between 1962 and 1964. In 1957, Gammage reached out to Wright to design an auditorium for Arizona State University. Wright already had an unrealized project on the books, an opera house for Bagdad, that he tapped for the ASU design. Wright passed away in 1959 before he finished the plans. William Welsey Peters jumped in to wrap up the design and oversee the construction.
