Gammage Auditorium

Entertainment

By Frank Lloyd Wright, Designed in 1957, Built in 1964. Originally designed for the King of Baghdad, an unfortunate assassination led to the repurposing of these unbuilt auditorium plans by then President of ASU, Grady Gammage. This swirling, circular birthday cake of an auditorium represents Wright at his most effervescent, and is designed to be as acoustically perfect as possible from every seat in the house.
