I would put this in the "Lighten Up" section except this is no joke.

It's really worth clicking on the link.

"Words fail" as Michael Rivero would say.

Wow. They'd have to be insane to build the 2007 version over the 2006 one. Gehry sounds like one odd duck indeed.

Yes, Frankie boy really give us a bad name, though some colleagues do admire him for his 'guts'. There is a hole lot that could be said about planning in general but even more about Architecture in particular.
...and Ryan, he isn't alone.
Modern(meaning in this age not the style) architecture on the world scene is very much infested with trends were the looniest quirks after another get built. The focus is more and more on the visual(venustas) with 'firmitas' & 'utilitas' left far, far behind. ....I think I'll stop here before the PP inside gets hold of me

Oh yes, you could call it jealousy for my part
