Why I don't really like Frank Gehry

Eyesore of the Month

October 2005

The Peter B. Lewis Building for Case Western Reserve University's Weatherhead School of Management. Architect: Frank Gehry. If your dog had a tumor like this the vets would just shake their heads and put him to sleep. The design follows the logic of cancer: invade and overwhelm the host organism. It's appropriate that this building houses the business school, because it aptly expresses the disfigurement of American economic practice in our time: banality meets pathology in a tragic duet.

By far, the most impressive piece of architecture/sculpture that we saw while in MPLS was James Turrell's installation at the Walker. You must go. Spend the entire day there if you can, or at least go a couple times throughout the day. You shouldn't be dissappointed.

Here's the Guthrie at night from across the Mississippi.

Here's the new Guthrie theater in MPLS. Jean Nouvel was the architect. It's weird, but pretty cool at night. Was too busy to go inside unfortuanately.
