Monuments to visit The United States Of America

This house was built by Frank Lloyd Wright in the 1950 s, at the request of a couple of Kaufmann friends of Fallingwater. Perfectly integrated into the landscape, it exudes a lot of serenity. Celebrated for its functional aspect, it is surprising to learn that the site was visited by Wright, only after the work largely undertaken. Very interesting for those who want to learn a little more about the concept of Usonian House, which means, for Wright, an affordable home, functional, with an important interaction between inside and outside. For those who wish to stay in the surroundings, you can sleep in another house made by Wright, Duncan House, converted into a luxury guesthouse since 2007.

This is the great achievement of the great architect, Paolo Paolo Soleri. It wants to demonstrate through this architectural utopia that it is possible to integrate construction into nature. Its concept, arcologie, is a symbiosis of architecture and ecology. The project is still under construction, mainly funded by the sale of superb copper bells, and brings together students from all over the world. A true research laboratory, current achievements allow to visualize what architecture might be, if it was not limited to pure functionality issues and cost constraints.

Undoubtedly, this relatively small bunkhouse and, frankly, not very interesting, is the city's main attraction.

The largest collection of Petroglyphs petroglyphs. Of 2 rocks spread over ha, one distinguishes from the naive drawings of animals and men of the th and th centuries. It is, of course, strictly forbidden to add his little engraving on these stones!

This mansion is near Biltmore Hotel. It was built by William Wrigley, the man who made his fortune in the chewings-gum. The building was designed by Earl Heitschmidt, who combines colonial Spanish and Mediterranean styles and Californian.

Built between 1863 and 1867, the Tabernacle is a beautiful silver, wood-framed dome that is the site of outstanding organ concerts. If you are in Salt Lake City, be sure to catch the Tabernacle Choir rehearsing there most Thursdays at 7:30 pm. At the entrance to the building, volunteers will guide you to the gigantic room that houses one of the largest organs in the world, with 11,623 pipes. An impressive stage with remarkable acoustics.
