cool, what did you think of the gehry in person?

i'd like to change the inscription on the 1st one to "bestevr"

I can see Gehry's Mum beating him with a protractor, screaming, "No 90 degree angles!"

I thought it was impressive. I like his style.

i like a lot of his work too. my favourite is the stata center (Stata_Center).

Or the Simpsons episode where he designs the Springfield Opera house. They build it like a normal building and then the cranes come in with the wrecking balls and bend all the 90 degree angles around.

And we have one on our campus here at the University of Minnesota Weisman Art Museum

I love his work. I think we have few architects that have the vision he does. Gehry's is responsible for the expansion to the Art Gallery of Ontario which is due to be finished sometime in 2007. I am so excited that we'll finally have some of his work in Toronto.

I've heard the people who own the Amityville horror house leave an open book of Gehry's work on the coffee table - turned to the page of his 'remuddle' of a Dutch colonial - as a none-too-subtle hint to the evil spirits that might still be there to keep their stinking traps shut...

Hasn't been a haunting since.
