Hotel Marques de Riscal in Elciego, Spain.
Want to win an architecture award? Put a few curves into your design; those straight lines are so boring and someone else will deal with the problem of fitting square bookcases and wardrobes into the bendy walls.
If I sound a little cynical, I shouldn’t be. Frank Gehry’s buildings are a wonderful gift to us photographers and we’ve been lucky enough to see a few of them on our recent travels. So here’s my offering for the Weekly Photo Challenge.
What do you think of his work – genius or gimmick?
Jay Pritzker Pavilion, Chicago.
And here’s the Pritzker again.
The Guggenheim Museum, Bilbao, Spain.

And here’s that Elciego hotel again. ‘Elciego’ means ‘the blind man’.
Read that how you will.
