Salk Institute
[ Posted DECEMBER 31, 2006 ]
Happy New Year!
Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels
[ Posted NOVEMBER 27, 2006 ]
Walt Disney Concert Hall
[ Posted NOVEMBER 22, 2006 ]
I have seen my share of Gehry buildings and this is his most refined and beautiful. Of course, Bilbao remains a more powerful work in historical context (and it is
in a much more romantic setting), but in terms of pure forms, I think Disney Hall surpasses it.
Other Gehry buildings I've photographed: DZ Bank,
Experience Music Project,
Fisher Center,
Guggenheim Bilbao,
Stata Center, and
Vitra Design Museum and Factory.
Eames House
[ Posted OCTOBER 23, 2006 ]
I promised frequent updates, so here it is: another set of photos, this time of the Eames House.
Caltrans District 7 Headquarters
[ Posted OCTOBER 16, 2006 ]
The light installation by artist Keith Sonnier, titled Motordom, is the best part of the
building.
Guthrie Theater
[ Posted OCTOBER 14, 2006 ]
After laying dormant for close to a year and a half, Figure/Ground has finally been updated! Hopefully
there will be frequent updates over the next few weeks as I put up all the photos from the past 2 years (I may not have
had the time to update the site, but I didn't stop traveling or taking photos!). First up, the new Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis, designed by Jean Nouvel.
