I've passed by this building for decades on Highway 101, but never took the time to stop in. Visiting my relatives in the Bay Area this week and they took me inside to see the unique (and controversial) design by architect Frank Lloyd Wright: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marin_County_Civic_Center

It used to be open to the sky but eventually had a glass roof installed. Lots of renovation ongoing due to aging of the concrete walls and paint. Not sure I'd like working in that environment, but it was great to see up close. The plantings of subtropicals are on four levels.🌴
