History
Initially called non-objective painting Museum (Museum of Non-Objective Painting), the Guggenheim was built to exhibit the artistic avant-garde who were more imposing, as Vasily Kandinsky and Piet Mondrian. The museum was moved to its present site when the building designed by Frank Lloyd Wright was completed.
The distinctive building, Wright's last major work, immediately caught the attention of architectural criticism, and is still recognized worldwide as one of the masterpieces of contemporary architecture. From the street, the building looks like a white ribbon that wraps around a cylinder, wider at the top to the base. His appearance is in stark contrast to the more characteristic of Manhattan skyscrapers that surround it, made very welcome to Wright, who said that his museum would look like the nearby Metropolitan Museum of Art "like a cabin Protestant."
Inside, the exhibition gallery forms a gentle spiral that rises from the ground floor to the top of the building. The paintings are exhibited along the walls of the spiral and in some rooms that are located along the route.
Most of those who criticize the building focus on the fact that this obscures the exhibits inside, and that is particularly difficult to hang the works along the vertical walls or plates or spiral, not enough lit from the large central window.
In 1992, the building was added to a rectangular tower, higher than the original spiral, designed by Gwathmey Siegel and Associates Architects. The building had already become an icon so that this addition to the draft Wright was hotly contested.

The spiral is very similar to an inverted Ziggurat reversed so much so that the same Wright Taruggiz called it. It can therefore be seen as a Tower of Babel upside down (which was just a ziggurat ) with the symbolic value of wanting to unite all the nations with the culture (in fact it is a museum of art) as opposed to the division of peoples took place in the famous biblical story of Tower of Babel . Another symbolic meaning is linked to the system of spiral staircases that allow
always look back on the path
Structure
Although visually give the idea of \u200b\u200ba bold structure, the building actually has a fairly classic operation. The spiral ramp, a circular is divided into two parts. On the outside of the circle is the exhibition space that is supported by seven of the AC that are positioned along the radius of the circle every 30 °. Inside the circle is instead the path of ascent and descent which is cantilevered. The partitions of trapezoidal shape, shrink from going down to get closer to the minimum section of resistance, but then leave the room for a drum circle that runs around the perimeter of the spiral. In covering the septa are extended to form the ribs of the dome above the big empty space.

The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum
1943-1959
New York
The museum was commissioned by the collector and patron Robert Solomon Guggenheim and Wright probably in the draft, moved by the observation of a shell.
However, the museum is built around a large spiral ramp that makes the exhibition is linear and continuous, a walk that winds in front of the works and which denies the classical division into salt.
The light comes from above, is the large glass dome that dominates the large space, either by striking fissures that create the spiral structure of the upper protruding on the bottom.
The works are illuminated by a diffused light reflected from curved surfaces and white, which gives a sense of naturalness and the whole environment that enhances the sinuous forms.
"the interior is so sweet proportionate - explains Wright himself - you feel an impression of extreme relaxation, similar to that produced by a wave quiet, that never breaks nor offers resistance or limit the vision
