I would like to see the blueprints for this complex design.
I did some poking around within the Gehry architecture firms website. It would not surprise me that you might find some of the drawings associated with the project. I did think some about the list of parts the steel company had to contend with. And the work involved in assembling that list.

Yes, that's an amazing structure - just across the river from me.
Jerry. I'd move.

A friend had been suggesting that I visit his job site, so that we would go have a look at this building, which is near by, and early last month I finally made the trip. I photographed the outside, and discovered I was able to get inside before I left. So here are a few. Several establishing shots, followed by more abstract views, several with color and the B/W conversions that are my ultimate intension. Happy to hear your thoughts.
Interesting photos and building...looks like a strong wind blew the building apart and then it just stayed that way.

Yes Dean, thats a pretty fair analogy when you see it from certain angles. I walked around for quite a while trying to find a view that was complementary to it as a sculptural form, and came to the conclusion that there were not many. From the front it looked to me as if it had suffered a front end collision. One of the more interesting things about the building is the ever changing surface reflections of the sky, that can only be experienced to be appreciated. I was thankful that the sky was full of clouds. I was metering off the sky and as you see, the skin had much brighter highlights.

Sorry Frank Gehry, the view from a distance of your project looks okay, (ignoring the complicated inside bracing) but the detail looks like a wrecked airplane.
You walked into the temptation of being fashionable and extraordinary, but forgot the architectural rule number one: Less is more!

That's a lot of metal and a lot of work assembling it I would guess.....wonder what it cost to build.

Nice shots. But I wonder why Gehry keeps designing buildings that look like crushed soda cans.

I didn't intend this post to turn into a trial and conviction of Mr. Gehry for architecture misdemeanors. I can tell you, that as an architecture student contemplating employment, landing a job with his firm would have been a remarkable achievement. His aim was to show how buildings need not be forever squares and rectangles, and this inspiration of his, was a significant contribution to future of architecture. Some of his first steps may have been clumsy, but lets give him credit for being a visionary with an imagination.
