i don't even know if anyone here is interested in architecture. if you are, or if you just happen to run across some you like, post it here (unless you feel like making a whole topic for it). buildings, houses, whatever you like.

The Guggenheim just celebrated its 50th birthday.
The Guggenheim At 50: A Legacy Spirals On Fifth I love this description: QUOTE Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, the Guggenheim earned many a dubious description upon its opening. Critics called it "inverted oatmeal dish," or a "hot cross bun." And in the face of such hostility, Wright defended his work.
"Somebody said the museum out here on Fifth Avenue looked like a washing machine," Wright said. "Well, I've heard a lot of that type of reaction, and I've always discounted it as worthless, and I think it is." |
