Frank Gehry

Recently I've become interested in the works of architect Frank Gehry primarily his work in Bilbao. I was watching a series on WOSU called Spain on the road again. Its a pretty interesting and food focused show that travels all over Spain experiencing the country gastronomically, yets its pretty holistic in its documentary style of filming the show. They talk a lot about the art, culture and lifestyle of each region of Spain then move onto the food. In one episode they were in Bilbao Spain, which is in the northeastern part of Spain. There is a Guggenheim modern art museum there that is amazing. Both the structure itself ,conceived by Gehry, and then what is contained within its walls. Then out in the sticks of Bilbao, Gehry designed another building, this time a hotel called Hotel Marque de Riscal, which again is crazy beautiful. Here are some pics.
