Please not Gehry! Calatrava would be great.

Yeah, I don't think a Gehry building would look good. His buildings always look like they're melting, and with the Texas heat...

I remember when I was a kid our grandma had a bucket of crayons for us to play with. Well, guess who left them outside in the summer heat one day. I can expect you can imagine what happened.

Ha! Yes. Not to turn this thread into Gehry bashing, but I went a full circle on his work: ugh! - well this is kind of cool - nope, still ugh! MIT Ray Stata building really did it for me, the ugly dysfunctional structure that already looks extremely dated. That's the thing with Gehry, I don't see his buildings aging well - in every sense of the word.
