I am obsessed with architecture. It is true, I am restless, trying to find myself as an architect, and how best to contribute in this world filled with contradiction, disparity, and inequality, even passion and opportunity.

The building was featured in our news when his death was announced.
ReplyDeleteThe one pictured above, Andrew? I see that Gehry did have at least one building in your neck of the woods: Dr Chau Chak Wing Building in Sydney.
DeleteI love his work!
ReplyDeleteSo do I, Mitchell.
DeleteHe certainly made his mark on the world.
ReplyDeleteDebra, he showed there was more than one way to design a building.
DeleteHello Kirk, Well, Gehry certainly made a run on the world's supply of titanium. Gehry's early works were original and clever, but the building-as-sculpture thing eventually got a little out of hand, especially as Gehry's imitators became many.

That's always the case with the arts, Jim.
DeleteI was on my my to doing architecture when my high school guidance consoler said I needed to take more science courses. It messed up my plans completely.
ReplyDeleteSorry it didn't work out, Mike. Did the guidance counselor know where your ambitions lie?
