| The style of Tempe reflects in the bronzed glass and steel walls of the inverted pyramid that serves as City Hall.
It echoes through the crowds at Sun Devil Stadium during football games.
It sings through the sound system at Gammage Auditorium, a building designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.
The heart of this city pulses to the sound of clicking keyboards in corporate headquarters, to the ching of cash registers in retail shops, and to the beat of after hours music on Mill Avenue.
It slows in easy chairs and king-sized beds located in condominiums just a few stories above the workplace.
The imagination of the community glimmers over the surface of Tempe Town Lake, a formerly dry riverbed that now provides miles of natural beauty.
Tempe learned early that no dream is too big, no challenge too great. Function and beauty are inseparable. Pleasure and productivity can coexist.
Scientists at Arizona State University make it possible to fly to Mars, to combat illness, to walk after crippling accidents and to make computers as swift as the wind.
We work. We dream. We study.
We create with our hands the products of our imaginations
We are Tempe, Arizona, the smart place to be. |
