I like it. Is there any affordable housing available?

Gehry and Gaudi. Two architects that I admire more than anything for their salesmanship. How they convinced clients to actually build their monstrosities is beyond me!

Did "the Donald," build this? Wow...

Haha, well said fatalflaw. I tip my hat to the engineers who had to make this thing work; and I throw my shoes at the architects for designing such a monstrosity.

Gaudi-esque and BEAUTIFUL

@fatalflaw: You're probably right re salesmanship, but I went to have a good look yesterday, and it's absolutely spectacular.

Here's hoping it leaks less (and requires less rebuilding) than the Stata Center he designed for MIT! I guess this time it won't matter so much that the elevators and stairs aren't anywhere nearby, but I still think that anyone with a vague sense of functionality would be horrified to give this man a prize.

If that thing was damaged in an earthquake, you'd never be able to tell.

Jon A. Great post, I thought it got too hot and melted

Seems the architect Gehrey is taking his inspiration from Gaudi's apartment and hotel and chirch in Barcelona - not that copying is a bad thing when the ideas are both public and inspiring!
