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.

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.

Actually, Wyetzner is correct. The city granted the *land* between the 79th and 85th street transverse roads of Central Park. Measured on a map that's *five blocks* or about 1/4 of a mile long, a mile being twenty blocks on the Manhattan grid. The *building* length on its east facade Fifth Avenue is four blocks in length. So, again, Wyetzner is correct since being an architect (for thirty five years :) he's thinking in terms of a site plan and it's boundary lines. The land not the facade.
