Marin County Civic Center
The Civic Center complex was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright (1869-1959)
near the end of his long career. The Administration Building was completed
in 1962 and the Hall of Justice in 1970. They are the only government buildings
designed by the distinguished architect that were ever actually constructed. The
project fully embodied Wright's ideal of organic architecture--a synthesis of
buildings and landscape. In Wright's words, the structures were planned
to "melt into the sunburnt hills."
