Frank Gehry on the Walt Disney Cocert Hall

I skateboard by this place all the time and never knew what it was till now... lol

Disney is perverted with all there "sex" cartoons.

sails :)

As an architect, we all talk crap about gehry's buildings at some point for being sculptures. Who cares if they are sculptures, they are unique and beatiful.

Ghery likes curves... .



WIERD

Apologists for Gehry assume incorrectly that his critics are motivated by envy. No, they just expect more from architecture than contrived, superficial clutter, no matter how well shilled by Sydney Pollack.

I'm not an apologist, in fact I don't think artists should apologize for their work. Some architects should, especially when when they design schools to mimic prisons.

I wonder if you've been inside a Gehry Building and know first hand what the space looks like? Some how I doubt it.

I sooo agree with gregfujita... I'm not a fan of Gehry's work at all, but the documentary (by Syndney Pollack) is terrific. That says a lot about a director's work, that he can get you completely absorbed into a subject who's buildings you don't even like : ) I've watched it many times and highly recommend it: "Sketches of Frank Gehry."

not his best work, but impressive nonetheless. props

I really appreciate the numerous negative comments about this cramped, uncomfortable building. All of the architects who built this piece of junk should be forced to sit in one of their cramped seats during a really LONG piece, like the Mahler Symphony #5. This expensive building went way over budget and when donations were solicited, very few in the entertainment community came forward. When California really goes broke, we're going to wonder why we wasted money on boondoggles like this.

Let's get the hell out of here, yah?
Is that Salonen said here?
