When we first got the EMP museum, now MoPOP in Seattle I thought it was odd looking and thought, what is this? Found out it was designed by Frank Gehry. Had heard the name but didn't know much about him. It grew on me as I liked visiting the museum and also found out more about Mr. Gehry. I realize everyone has their own observations and opinions, but as I've grown more accustomed to it I feel happy that Seattle is fortunate to have a Frank Gehry design. A talented man and it's great to see him still working and producing!

But sometimes serendipity does come into play. Frank told this story of how the giant binoculars came to be in the design of the Chiat/Day building at 340 Main Street in Venice, CA. He felt that the design was missing a central focus. In working out the final scheme he looked up and saw a pair of binoculars on the shelf. He took them down and placed them in the model. They were a nice fit. (If anyone has a different version of that story, I'd like to see it.)
@lewstone54302 жыл бұрын
Yes! One day I was standing beside Frank in his office while he was looking at this design. He kept saying “this needs something.” That’s when I said “how about giant binoculars!” Frank suddenly looked up from the design, his mouth agape while his glassy eyes stared off into nothing. After a few seconds he quietly whispered “genius!” And I’m still waiting on my residual check!

Once we were inside, a large woman with a bad attitude (same pattern here as at Chiat) started talking down to us, trying hard to intimidate. She might have had a high school diploma, but who knows? All she needed was a badge to act like a gorilla.

I have a couple collections of his drawings (repros). Although they seemed to be scribbled, you'd see the building in an instant, unmistakably. I became a devotee when I saw a small inset in a magazine. It was a photo of nothing more than a shade for horses on a ranch in Montecito. It was a flat dark blue plane that sliced through the air at such a subtle and seductive angle that it became art. I was hooked. Then I saw his home in Santa Monica. I was finished. I was hooked forever and ever. Gehry's genius rewarded me every step of the way.

I believe they resurfaced the exterior panels so it wasn't so reflective. They did a good job with that, while maintaining its silver sheen. Its whimsical while still being quite elegant. You get the gravitas of what goes on inside merely by walking around it's exterior. And it's supposed to have one of the best acoustics of any concert hall in the world through technical design.
