Gordon Strong Automobile Objective

The Gordon Strong Automobile Objective was a proposed planetarium, restaurant, and scenic overlook designed by American architect Frank Lloyd Wright for the top of Sugarloaf Mountain in Maryland.

The "automobile objective" was primarily a day-trip destination; people would drive out to the mountain, perhaps picnic while enjoying the scenic views, and then return home.

Wright's final and most complete plan for the site replaced the interior theatre with a larger domed open space that would be used as a planetarium.

"[3] Mark Reinberger asserts that the design is evidence of Wright's desire to find a new form of architectural expression, a utopian scheme reliant on modern technology—in the case of this project, the automobile.

In Broadacre City, automobile objectives would be built at locations of natural beauty to serve as a meeting places and social centers.
