FIM DESIGN: Frank Gehry on the New NWS Building
Last chance to pick up a copy of our annual Design issue, on newsstands now. Among others, we interview Frank Gehry, the LA-based, Pritzker Prize-winning architect whose vision consistently overflows with imagination, movement and wide-eyed creativity. He discusses his collaboration with Michael Tilson Thomas and his design for the 100,641-square-foot New World Symphony complex, scheduled to open in Miami Beach in January of next year. Plus, he sheds light on his views of green design, just in time to clear things up after detractors throughout the blogosphere lashed out at him for allegedly dismissing LEED and green building. Check out this PBS interview for more on that. Above: a model view of the new NWS campus.
