Guggenheim Museum,NYC 1948 AD

yet another incarnation of Wright as a discoverer of form. In it he finally achieved a building of continously rolling space. The building rises as a warm beige spiral from its site on Fifth Avenue. Its unique central geometry was meant to allow visitors to easily experience Guggenheim's collection of nonobjective geometric paintings by taking an elevator to the top level and then viewing artworks by walking down the slowly descending, central spiral ramp, which features a floor embedded with circular shapes and triangular light fixtures to complement the geometric nature of the structure.

Guggenheim Museum Interior

its interior is similar to the inside of a seashell. Its helix gradually expands in a spreading spiral ramp for ultimate flow. The interior is an ocean of space capped by a skylight dome.
