Although I'm a fan of Frank Lloyd Wright's design originality (his engineering skills not so much) I've been to the Guggenheim, as well as several other NYC museums. In my opinion the Guggenheim is a very inefficient use of space in which to display art. The museum is sculpture but the actual amount of usable space in which to display art is low compared to it's footprint. And, as mentioned, not even a particularly great display environment for the art it can accommodate.

@@randyastle3301 Watched Waldemar's talk on Frank L. Wright and the Guggenheim. Appears the architect and the artists were more or less on the same page through Wright may have been interested in Rosicrucianism. So, form followed function, no conflict between the two.

Listening to Michael’s thoughts on the Guggenheim, I recalled a recent visit to Citizen M Bowery, a hotel that includes Berlin-style artwork on every floor - within the stairwells. As you descend the stairwell, amazing art comes into view on every floor. It’s a hidden gem in lower Manhattan. A can’t miss experience!

@vincentgoupil180
@vincentgoupil180 Жыл бұрын
Wondered the same. Never noticed it until this video. Turns out no money to finish the facade. The architect Hunt intended each column capital to be a sculpture of one of the fours arts as his elevation drawing depicted. See *Daytonian in Manhattan* blogspot, "The Unfinished Cornice of the Metropolitan Museum of Art".

It would be really interesting to get your take on architects who build museums that favor their own aesthetic versus what is going into the building-the Art. Might you start with the Bilbao?

hey Mikey, Granted you've pointed out the MOMA facade at 7:47 and the Met's blind windows please talk more about the *window* treatments between the 19th and 20th centuries using Guatam Shah's article "Comparing Windows of FLW, and LC Mies" (2013) on the blog 'Talk About Interior Design' as a reference point. For example, the Guggenheim's ribbon window is one long continuous spiral light to the sky.

The Herzog and De Meuron de Young is a disaster. The copper exterior was supposed to turn verdigris over the years. The intent was to blend into the foliage of Golden Gate Park...except it didn't. It remained copper with only small amounts of verdigris. So, it stands out intrusively. The main court is an ungainly waste of space. With bland strips of lighting and awkward flow, what should have been the heart of the building is, instead an empty doughnut hole. Contrast this with the sublime I. M. Pei design for the East Building of the National Gallery in Washington. I could go on. It's yet another missed opportunity in a city that has few buildings of architectural merit.
