Showing the complete architectural n00b in me, I had to ask the people in the Museum where the Gehry building was, to which they answered walk out the door, turn left and walk 100 feet. I walked straight past it and didn't even notice. The true definition of sublime. There are not many architectural saving graces to Toledo (hello downtown), but this is one of them.
The story goes that Frank Lloyd Wright upon entering a Las Vegas style casino for the first time, remarked on the architecture with those same words. Maybe it's more myth, than any amount of truth. I hope my photographs give you that same feeling of disorientation and bemusement. The plan is to abstract the crap out of architecture I like and throw in non-academic, pop culture infused musings whilst I'm at it.
