This man argued that the death of the national landscape led the general public to under-appreciate the creative powers of Louis Sullivan in his book Genius and the Mobocracy.This architect used a sky-blue roof, scallop-shaped balconies, and a 172-foot triangular tower of gold in his posthumously-built Marin County Civic Center. Much controversy surrounds this architect's elopement to Florence with Mamah Borthwick Cheney, who later died when Juan Carlton set fire to their residence. A building by this architect features floors that are cantilevered to a "taproot core." That building consists of six "square levels" sandwiched between circular mezzanine levels. Another of this architect's commissions from his late phase features a single, continuous, spiral ramp and was inspired by the design of a snail shell. For 10 points, name this architect who created the S.C. Johnson Research Tower, as well as the Guggenheim Museum in New York City.
