What is that second building? And that first one - - what was Frank Gehry THINKING?
What is your opinion of Antoni Gaudí, Carlos ?
The second building is the Exeter Library of Louis Kahn (1901-1975)
Frank Gehry is not interested in beauty at all. He likes complexity and the deconstruction of accepted forms and shapes. However, he is worlwide acclaimed.
Gaudi was a brilliant achitecht who explored biological forms and also made experiments with parabolical arches. His last building was the Sagrada Familia Basilica in Barcelona. Unfortunately those buildings cannot be built nowadays. Craftmen and artisans from Catalonia no longer exist.
But the best proof the quality of his Sagrada Familia is that this is the most visited piece of architecture in Barcelona, Another very well known building is the German Pavilion of the 1929 Exhibition., but very few people are willing to visit.--
