Absurd Architecture

According to a book by John Silber sunlight glinting off the sharply
angled steel curves of Gehry's Walt Disney Music Hall raises the
temperature of neighbors' houses by 15 degrees.

Do you think this is absurd?

"Architecture of the Absurd: How 'Genius' Disfigured a Practical Art," a new book by John Silber announces how some architecture, such as Frank Gehry's Stata Center at MIT is trash.

FYI: Frank Gehery designed the Disney Hall in Los Angeles, a building that, to some, might look like a spacey dream.

Basically the book covers the "dysfunctional design" of some of the greatest architects in the world.

The author was president at Boston University for 32 years and oversaw the projects of many on-campus buildings.

The book is due on bookstore shelves on Nov. 12.
