Description

Have you ever looked at a building as a type of artifact? Join us on the east side of Rocky Mountain National Park at Beaver Meadows Visitor Center at 3 p.m. and take a close-up look at the historical and architectural significance of this incredible building.

This special program is part of the park's National Park Week Celebration. Learn about the design philosophies behind Organic Architecture (the style that influenced Frank Lloyd Wright and the Taliesin Associated Architects). 

In regard to organic architecture, Tom Casey, the lead architect for the Beaver Meadows Visitor Center, said "there should be something in the flow that speaks to your soul." Discover how this building's architecture speaks to you!

This 1-hour program will take place both indoors and outdoors. Please check the weather and be prepared for anticipated conditions.
