sinister “Gattaca Corporation“ in the dystopian sci-fi movie “Gattaca”, Frank Lloyd Wright’s Marin County Civic Center responds perfectly to the aesthetic characteristics of a utopian civic complex. Roger Ebert stated, “This is one of the smartest and most provocative of science fiction films, a thriller with ideas. Its hero is a man who challenges the system” (Gattaca). And so Frank Lloyd Wright did with his individualistic American designs. The Marin County Civic Center, located in San Rafael, California
I will be discussing Frank Lloyd Wrights work in depth and how he influenced modernism in America. I picked Wright because I think his vision and passion for design and architecture is reflected in his work. I will be talking about his ‘organic architecture’ and how nature and technology played a part in his work, I’ll talk about this philosophy and how I think he expressed this through his public and private buildings.. I will look into how Wright invited the environment into his designs and houses
designs were influenced by Asian architecture and were imported from local tastes, but the recent history saw the introduction of Western architecture into Japan. Many architects have lived through the evolving of these different styles in architecture, and many have adopted a certain style. Yoshio Taniguchi is one of the most known architects who worked in Japan and abroad, and had the concepts of Japanese culture found deep down within his projects. Yoshio Taniguchi,
