Walt Disney Concert Hall Los Angeles Lawsuit Settled
That was close Mr.Frank Gehry.
That deal was reached last year, but took another year to finalize between attorneys for the 18 litigants involved in the case. Disney Concert Hall will pay $13.3 million to contractors from building and donor funds.
“The structure, home of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, opened six years late and more than $174 million over budget. The building’s final cost, including monies paid out in this most recent settlement, total in the vicinity of $284 million.” – ArchitectureMag
“Although Gehry’s firm was not a party in the suit, the builders criticized the architect’s work—including a leaky skylight and problems with the cooling system—during court proceedings. Gehry’s insurance policy became a part of the settlement because the Disney Hall corporation was included in its coverage.” – Los Angeles Times

Frank Gehry checking out the offer letter. Look at the house, its Frank Gehry’s own house in LA.
Frank Gehry’s own house in Los Angeles is rather a collision of parts, built to stay but with a deliberately unfinished, ordinary builderlike sensibility of parts.
This must be the best part on how Frank gehry got his idea for the concert hall.
The graceful curves of Frank Gehry’s Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles are familiar to anyone interested in contemporary architecture or the work of this great master.
Architecture can be fun, check out David Teoh’s latest post on Frank Gehry in the Simpson. I like the part where Frank Gehry crumple the letter and tosses it on the ground and get his idea for the infamous walt disney concert hall. That’s not it, the best part would be the construction of the Walt Disney concert hall, its unbelievable. So, what are you waiting for? Read the whole article at David Teoh’s Blog.
Here is the summarize plot of the cartoon – In an attempt to prove to Shelbyville that Springfield is not a hick town, Marge convinces the town to fund a new concert hall, designed by architect Frank Gehry (who voices himself). However, Springfieldians just aren’t interested, and Mr. Burns buys the bankrupt concert hall in order to turn it into a new federal prison, in which Homer is imprisoned after a snafu. Homer runs into quick trouble in prison when Fat Tony (Joe Mantegna) targets him for squealing.
Back to the whole Frank Gehry’s Walt Disney concert hall issue, it makes me wonder how in the world did he manage to pull out something so de-constructive? The sketches is beyond words, I’m more of Tadao Ando’s fan, maybe that’s the reason why I don’t really like Frank Gehry’s style, or is it just me?
