The Tallesin 1 hour or so tour is definitely interesting to look at from a historical and design perspective, but definitely "art project" not "good engineering" given the poorly supported balconies, the continually leaky roof, and if you're over 6 feet tall you might hit your head in places.
100% that's actually what we found missing/were disappointed in from the Taliesin West "self-guided" audio tour was it was more social/artistic approach of his architectural style, and not at all on the actual architecture and it's effects.
