All of these pictures are of the Guggenheim Museum in Spain. The middle one is a sketch for this building. To me it just looks like a three year old got a hold of a pencil and had at it. It is amazing that that is what Gehry began with and then he created this magnificent building!! In my humanities class a couple of semesters ago we discussed this building and how organic it seems. If you see it on a sunny day and then go back on a cloudy day it is as if you are looking at a completely different building. I love it. Frank Gerhy's architecture always seems to be fluid and moving, it is such an interesting idea. We are all so used to these sound, straight, geometric, symmetrical buildings that it makes sense that Gehry's buildings are so controversial.
