It is so weird how that first inspiration is translated perfectly into the dynamic of the building (yes I am a Frank Ghery nerd ... but I remember this because I saw a Frank Ghery Exhibition at the Guggenheim in NYC a few years ago... they had the napkin there! hahahah)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04115745270872090092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5408302108753050117.post-47178457086566067202007-10-22T17:41:00.000-07:002007-10-22T17:41:00.000-07:00NIICE!

The best thing about it is how the Titanium outer layer interacts with the water and the sky.

LOVE IT! <BR/>The last picture from the bottom reminds me of the Defense district in Paris. At the center of a large modern piazza is this square hollow apartament building. It blew my mind the first time I saw it when I was 12.
