More of the Boston Trip

My brother-in-law works at MIT www.mit.edu We went down on a nice Sunday. Lots of cool architecture.

Stately old collegiate buildings

image 11806

and cool new modern stuff as well

Kresge Auditorium - www.arche.psu.edu/thinshells/module%20III/case_study_3.htm

Apperantly the ceiling at the top is only 3 inches thick

image 11807

I should have taken another shot of the building itself but the roof was so cool and textual

The Wiesner Building (my brother-in-law calls it the diving board to nowhere)

image 11808

and of course a Frank O. Gehry - The Stata Center

image 11809

the vent for the parking underneath looks like a popcorn bucket from the movies

and this "feature" reminded me of a milk shake glass

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

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

Catherine Penfold-Waxman: 9th May 2006 - 14:03 GMT

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

Tyfoid Kid: 9th May 2006 - 14:24 GMT

I thought it was impressive. I like his style.

Catherine Penfold-Waxman: I like it too.

jeeff: 9th May 2006 - 15:17 GMT

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

Tyfoid Kid: 9th May 2006 - 16:07 GMT

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.

Tyfoid Kid: 9th May 2006 - 16:10 GMT

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

Tamara: 9th May 2006 - 16:19 GMT

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.

Check out a complete list of his accomplishments at
