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.
