这座建筑于1962年完工,是为数不多的由Frank Lloyd Wright设计的国家资助建筑之一。政府大楼似乎总是需要关注它们高耸入云的样子。Wright在这里的设计避开了长而低的水平曲线,它包围着地面,并与东边的山丘融合在一起。“我们知道,好的建筑不会伤害风景,而是使风景比建筑建成之前更美丽。在Marin County,您拥有我所见过的最美丽的风景之一,我很自豪地使该县的建筑成为该地区美丽的特征。”——Frank Lloyd Wright
Completed in 1962, it is one of the few state-funded buildings designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. Government buildings always seem to require your attention to their thrust into the sky. Wright's design here avoids the long, low horizontal curve that surrounds the ground and merges with the hills to the east. "We know that good architecture does not harm the landscape, but makes it more beautiful than it was before it was built. You have one of the most beautiful landscapes I have ever seen in Marin County, and I am proud to make the County's architecture a beautiful feature of the area." - Frank Lloyd Wright
几何是由圆产生的。高速公路上巨大的中央拱门让位于两个逐渐变小的拱门,它们向后延伸,形成了一个与加州天空融为一体的蓝色屋顶;这三组拱门似乎是在向远处的三座山致敬。这是Wright的770年和最后的委托。不幸的是,他没有见证它的完成,并于1959年4月去世。从受东方影响的172英尺高的金色尖顶,到模仿周围景观的色彩方案,再到结构的开放和流动的感觉,设计显然是经典的Frank Lloyd Wright风格。
Geometry is produced by circles. The huge central arch on the highway gives way to two dwindling arches that extend back to form a blue roof that blends into the Californian sky; These three sets of arches seem to pay homage to three mountains in the distance. This is Wright's 770 and final commission. Unfortunately, he did not witness its completion and died in April 1959. From a 172-foot gold spire influenced by the East, to color schemes that mimic the surrounding landscape, to the open and flowing feel of the structure, the design is clearly in the classic Frank Lloyd Wright style.
