guggenheim

The Guggenheim museum was designed by famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright and was completed after his death in 1959.
The Guggenheim became a quintessence of Wright’s efforts to translate the beauty of organic forms, it’s natural grace and flow, in architecture. He changed standard approach to museum design by upturning twisting pyramid, where the lift takes visitors to the top of the building so that people can continue their way down walking on a gently flowing ramp. The winding balconies, whose twisting design reminds of a shell shape, are broken up into separate independent rooms that smoothly flow one into another.
Not only it reflected nature, Guggenheim design possessed rigid geometrical qualities, as the museum is the perfect balance of arcs, squares and triangles.
Wright constructed an exciting piece of architecture, whose design is as inspirational now as it was in 1960s, by merging the grace and flexibility of flowing natural shapes and still rigidity of geometric forms.
