Genesis would occasionally gather a group for trips to various locations. Here, students and instructors visited Arizona State University’s College of Architecture and Environmental Design.
The group went to Taliesin West, the Scottsdale, Ariz. winter home of architect Frank Lloyd Wright, and now headquarters for the foundation that bears his name. The group is seen in 2002.
