I like Gehry’s stuff – I think it’s brilliant-but then I’m an asshole too I guess

All I can imagine is the people in the building behind the facade going ARRGH NO SUN HURR HJALP!, and possibly having to wear sunglasses all day long when the thing starts shining. It looks ghastly. I liked the rose made out of broken plates though.
My question remains: what is it supposed to be a building for, are they serious, and HURRRRR!

nah, I vote yes on the space prop. My worst criticism is that Gehry is just repeating himself with another alien-silvery-pillow exterior, but the interior redeems it. It is sort of strange to have this autumnnal concert hall enclosed by a quicksilver biomorph.
