Frank Gehry's "Dancing House" (The Fred & Ginger Building), in Prague, Czech Republic

I used to walk along the Vlatva river in Prague while I studied there in '99 for a semester, always awed and happy to see Fred & Ginger dancing in large above and next to me. It's amazing how a material as sharp and fragile as glass was constructed into a form that appears to flow and evokes the image of a swaying female dancer. If he doesn't catch her, she'll shatter.

Frank Gehry's Fisher Center @ Bard College, in Annandale-on-Hudson, NY

I stumbled upon Gehry's floating and folding performance center at Bard College in the Summer of '07 while driving around exploring the Hudson Valley area. The back of the building is a bit disappointing and disconnected design-wise from the more visible front and sides. It's a reverse mullet of a building: party up front, business in the back.
