View looking southeast; In the 1950s the circle, used both as a planning tool and as a formal element, occurred more and more often in Wright's work, as seen in the segmental arches and dome of the Marin County Government Center (1957-1966), San Rafael, CA, and the space-age Greek Orthodox Church (1959), Wauwatosa, WI, which resembles a flying saucer.
