More of the Boston Trip
My brother-in-law works at MIT www.mit.edu
We went down on a nice Sunday. Lots of cool architecture.
Stately old collegiate buildings
and cool new modern stuff as well
Kresge Auditorium - www.arche.psu.edu/thinshells/module%20III/case_study_3.htm
Apperantly the ceiling at the top is only 3 inches thick
I should have taken another shot of the building itself but the roof was so cool and textual
The Wiesner Building (my brother-in-law calls it the diving board to nowhere)
and of course a Frank O. Gehry - The Stata Center
the vent for the parking underneath looks like a popcorn bucket from the movies
and this "feature" reminded me of a milk shake glass

cool, what did you think of the gehry in person?
i'd like to change the inscription on the 1st one to "bestevr"
Catherine Penfold-Waxman: 9th May 2006 - 14:03 GMT
I can see Gehry's Mum beating him with a protractor, screaming, "No 90 degree angles!"
Catherine Penfold-Waxman: I like it too.
jeeff: 9th May 2006 - 15:17 GMT
i like a lot of his work too. my favourite is the stata center (Stata_Center).
Tyfoid Kid: 9th May 2006 - 16:07 GMT
Or the Simpsons episode where he designs the Springfield Opera house. They build it like a normal building and then the cranes come in with the wrecking balls and bend all the 90 degree angles around.
Tyfoid Kid: 9th May 2006 - 16:10 GMT
And we have one on our campus here at the University of Minnesota Weisman Art Museum
Tamara: 9th May 2006 - 16:19 GMT
I love his work. I think we have few architects that have the vision he does. Gehry's is responsible for the expansion to the Art Gallery of Ontario which is due to be finished sometime in 2007. I am so excited that we'll finally have some of his work in Toronto.
Check out a complete list of his accomplishments at
