Frank Gehry IAC Headquaters

I feel like I always am being really negative on my blog, but Frank Gehry is another irrational prejudice of mine. His work is so gimmicky and kitschy. At least this building was somewhat toned down, perhaps in deference to the fact that it's a corporate headquarter. While researching online, I couldn't find any mention of green design in this building. If this was an aspect of the design, its a shame that it wasn't publicized more, as Gehry is probably one of the more copied architects working today. It would be nice for him to start an appealing trend for once! One sustainable building that I really love is the new California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco. It has a living roof that is planted with grass and flowers and regulates heat throughout the building, it runs on solar power and the aquarium runs all over the building. No only does it look lovely, but the building is an exhibit in itself. I'm so excited to see it in person!
