According to the notice from Flavorpill:
"Steve Martin famously said that talking about music is like dancing about architecture; tonight at the Hammer, audiences finally get to see that idea (almost) in action, as unpredictable architect Frank Gehry has it out with Bard College president and renowned classical-music scholar/conductor Leon Botstein, who commissioned Gehry to design Bard's performing-arts center in 1996. Expect an entertaining chat about the progressive relationship between architects and cultural institutions, how to deal with large-room acoustics, and what they really think of the new LACMA down the street.- Shana Nys Dambrot"

I find most of his work rather stifling and really stiff. The only building that is really organic is the EMP. The rest pales in comparison. So I really don't know why the fascination with him when there are so many other wonderful, albeit less well-known architects around like Tadao Ando and Zaha Hadid.

Isn't this the building that had to be retrofitted due to the blinding sun reflecting off the building?
