The Fountain and Garden Area at The Marin Civic Center – Blog Hosted Video

August 30, 2023 Update to Previous Footage Here (internal link)

This video shows the beautiful outdoor seating area in the fountain and garden patio area of the Marin Civic Center. You can buy something inside at the Civic Center Cafe and then go outside to marvel at the exterior of Frank Llyod Wright’s last great commission. He died a year before the complex was completed.

When it reopens to the public, make sure to visit on a weekday. This is a working county facility and as such the bureaucrats and paper pushers lock it up on the weekend when most people have the time to see it. Walking through that building is like walking through the mind of a great designer. You see his vision realized everywhere.

“The fountain-garden patio area exemplifies Wright’s belief that work environments should be places of beauty. The design of the pond conveys the impression of blending into infinity. The pond uses re-circulated water and camouflages the heating and cooling systems. It is also home to a family of ducks that return here each spring.”

Now Playing: The Varsity Theatre in Davis, California

I took this picture on Sunday night at about nine o’clock. A rare moment: no cars parked on the curb to obscure the view. And then I converted it into something else. In my usual way. I was also lucky to get a bicyclist passing by. Click for full screen, otherwise, the image will be dull and small.

Is This How Frank Gehry Got Started?

Playing with paper and cardboard and a recent design. I like it. I think it is something I could build on. (architectural word play). And if you don’t know who Frank Gehry is, keep banging the rocks together!
