We Angelenos know Frank Gehry even though we may not know Frank Gehry. You know those shiny slabs of metal perched on the hill downtown that make you search for your sunglasses when u pass it on any sunny southern california day? He did that. You Bilbaínos ( I stumbled across the above pictures while studying for my architecture final. Stunning yea? Go ahead and look again, they're indeed real. These are images of the Stata Center at MIT, which is an academic complex that houses many of the geeky (cmon lets be honest here) activities that go on at the school. A lot of negative responses to the structure, but it's daring, original, and seems to do a little dance that requests our visual acceptance....and we appreciate that, right?
