B. for bold designs such as the one for the Guggenheim Museum
C. because of bold designs such as the Guggenheim Museum
D. because of bold designs such as that for the Guggenheim Museum
E. for bold designs like the Guggenheim Museum's

Why not [c]?

Idiom - "remembered...for" instead of "remembered...because"

Also, the sentence after the comma talks about buildings

...,most of his buildings were intended to blend into their surroundings."

Therefore, before the comma should have the name of the building being modified, not the building's design.

Hope this helps
