Reading Response 02: Side-by-Side

Frank Lloyd Wright’s Guggenheim Museum –New York City

– Shows specifically how the spiral ramp gives access to the art displays
– The emphasis is on the ramped walkways and its connection to the galleries
– There is a sense of movement and direction of how people would move around the space
– Poché is emphasized on the art gallery spaces and its connection to the ground plane
– The lighter area in the center indicates heavy emphasis on the outer construction and empty, open area in the center
– There is also better attention to the light dome atop to show how light is supposed to be present in the building
