The Audubon Center in Phoenix.

When you think about the Valley, is there a specific place you think of?  A place that exemplifies your image of our desert home?

That’s a question we’re posing in a new, occasional series we’re calling “In a Place.” We’ll be asking architects about what gives them a sense of place for the Valley.

Today, we hear from Phillip Weddle, of Weddle Gilmore Black Rock Studio in Scottsdale.

Let us know what spot gives you a sense of place for the Valley — email us at [email protected], or tweet at us @kjzzphoenix using #KJZZinaplace.
