Wright represented organic
architecture and postulated
the view of a building as
an organism.
Some designs are reminiscent
of skeletons of marine organisms
or spiders' webs.
In the New York Guggenheim Museum, built 1946-1959, he applied the spiral to the main circulation space of the exhibition hall.
This was a controversial concept until today, but the resulting space is impressive.
The prominent site bordering the Central Park enhances the impression.
Wright also used the spiral as a circulation ramp in smaller projects, like the Morris house in San Francisco, which was built 1948-1949.
