Sample page history
Acoustic DesignWith all the praise given to the acoustical quality, the article really needs to tell us who was the sound engineer who designed the acoustics. Does anybody know? I remember that he was Japanese.
CriticismThis is of course a POV - but there are several news articles criticizing the design of it as (a) not tasteful (b) impractical and (c) looking like a messed up version of the Sydney opera house!
Just another version of the ugly Guggenheim Museum Bilbao and a giant version of the also ugly Weisman Art Museum and several other monstrosities Gehry has perpetuated on unwitting communities.
Well i got a new one here: Samuels, David (April 2008). "Shooting Britney". The Atlantic Monthly 301 (3): p.46. "..., the core of the decayed downtown is wrapped around Frank Gehry's undulating, steel-clad concert hall, which looks like a giant steel-capped molar in a mouthful of rotting teeth.“
