Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain. Designed by Frank Gehry in 1997, it is definitely one of the most iconic art galleries of our time. It is a fluid structure that consists of radically sculpted, organic contours which seemingly flow into one another. Not only is it an impressive structure, but Gehry has also used a material not often used in buildings, which adds to its originality. The building somewhat changes at different times of the day, whereby the sun hits it, reflecting the light, and therefore changing the colour of the building. I particularly like the contrast in architecture, where on one side of the Nervion River there are small historical buildings, then on the other theres a contemporary, monumental building. The Guggenheim was hailed as one of the most spectacular buildings in the world.Monday, March 8, 2010
GREAT PIECE OF ARCHITECTURE.
