Frank Lloyd Wright designed the Marin Center in San Rafael California, design in 1957. It was his last commission and opened in 1962 after his death.
The selection of Frank L. Wright was controversial at the time, and the structure built was no less controversial. The black panthers and Symbionese Liberation Army staged terrorism there. It has been featured in sci-fi movies like Gattaca and inspired the new Star Wars. The composition of circular elements in stucco certainly drew inspiration from eastern influences, and the gold spire speaks of religion.
The control of sunlight in well arranged spaces and climate control is superb. The blue decorated circular roofs speak of religiously portrayed skies, heavens, while the procession of cars under the building's bridge speaks of telestial. A very symbolic and contextual structure.
We know that the good building is not the one that hurts the landscape, but is one that makes the landscape more beautiful than it was before that building was built. In Marin County you have one of the most beautiful landscapes I have seen, and I am proud to make the buildings of this County characteristic of the beauty of the County.- FLWMore Images
