Dissecting the Guggenheim Bilbao by Frank Gehry

We all know the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao. It is the museum of modern and contemporary art designed by Canadian-American architect Frank Gehry in the Basque Country of Spain. Visit the museum website at guggenheim-bilbao and a virtual tour at guggenheim-bilbao.es

"The randomness of the curves are designed to catch the light"- Gehry. 

Opened in 1997, it was immediately hailed as one of the world's most spectacular buildings in the style of Deconstructivism. It has a structure that consists of radically sculpted, organic contours, even its titanium panels resemble fish scales. "The greatest building of our time"- architect Philip Johnson.
