And yet it seems every city now must have a Gehry - which ultimately seems to undermine their uniqueness.
I concede that Gehry's use of more organic forms is more eye pleasing, but Renzo Piano, Richard Rogers and Gianfranco Franchini's Pompidou I think tickles the imagination of turning a building inside out.
