Frank Gehry's Walt Disney Concert Hall

A year ago, I got to visit one of the most impressive buildings of the 21st Century. It’s the Walt Disney Concert Hall, designed by Frank Gehry. The final product is a confluence of neo-futurist and post-modernism that defies architectural convention only rivaled by the architect’s own design for the Guggenheim Bilbao in northern Spain. While I had expected it to appear futuristic after some two decades, I had not expected such a colossal icon in modern architectural history to feel small.
