Happy 2016! I took some time off to slum around LA in January. Yesterday I visited the LACMA on a good tip from a good friend about this Frank Gehry exhibit that was going on. Unfortunately I could not get into the rain room. While walking through this exhibit it occurred to me that Gehrys buildings are not to everyone’s taste, but sitting there in model form they are even more whimsical and delicate than their finished final forms. I feel like I could see his genius and process through these models before they turned into buildings and had to be bogged down by regulations and bureaucracy.

What if Frank Gehry was a miniature diorama builder?
