Arizona Architects Creating Interest in Tokyo

Located in the southwestern United States, Arizona is noted for the Grand Canyon, desert, Wyatt Earp, the shoot-out at OK Corral, hot summers, and some really outstanding architects. Frank Lloyd Wright, who is famous in Japan for his architecture where he designed 12 buildings, of which 6 were built, and 2 remain whole. Wright also spent his winters for much of the last part of his life in Arizona. His influence on architecture in Arizona was great then and remains so even today a half century later. Frank Lloyd Wright's emphasis on organic architecture plays an important role today thanks to global warming and dwindling reserves of fossil fuel, as well as larger demands on energy and other resources.

This series of articles features young and innovative Arizona architects and their studios. How they are facing the architectural and environmental challenges of today. We invite you to join us as we interview them.

Form WerksFormwerks Studios

Located in the Scottsdale, Arizona, Formwerks Studios is conveniently situated at the entrance to Paradise Valley. Paradise Valley is the home for many high-end residences, some of which belong to clients of Formwerks. I met Lou Warner for the first time when I went to interview him in his offices. Friendly, articulate, and energetic, Lou was a lot of fun to interview. I can't help but think that his clients like to work with him as well 

Circle West Circle West Desert House

Circle West Architects is located in Scottsdale, Arizona. Founded by Peter Koliopoulos AIA, Circle West blends the best of modern architecture with the spirit of the desert. While fully subscribing to the philosophy of Mies, Peter is not reluctant to introduce his own nuances and thoughts into the creation of new architecture and forms. While scheduled for only 30 minutes or so, this interview stretched for more than an hour, only part of which can be given here, unfortunately. Please enjoy!
