A documentary film of genius architecht Frank Gehry is going to be on screen at Bunkamura Le Cinema and other theaters this summer. Gehry is known for designing the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, the Stata Center at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the DG Bank building in Berlin and many others. It is hard to believe that his audacious and unique architecture is based on very rough sketches. In commemoration of the film release, Aoyama Book Center holds a panel display.

フランク・ゲーリーの作品を観たら、誰もが衝撃を受けざる負えない。
あまりにも異質な外観、それでいて、実用に耐える内部空間。
フランク・ゲーリーの作品は「彫刻作品」と揶揄される、異端児であるw

フランク・ゲーリーの作品を偶然、街の中で見つけて
他の用事をわすれ
2時間近く、作品に釘付けになったことを思い出す。。。
なんで、あんなカタチになるんだろ?

Not that much is exhibited at ABC. Only 4 sketches and not originals, but it looks like snapshots of the movie. It is not worth to go there only for this. But you can still go read a few art books.
