This is what architectural genius Frank Gehry calls his "preliminary sketches" for the Panama Puente de Vida Museo.
And aren't they horrifying? It seems like old Frank was either phoning it in, or he appointed a bunch of five-year-olds to do his designs while he counted his cash for this project.
Let's hope for the builders' sake that there were a few more sketches that followed this one.
Horrifying, schmorrifying, Gehry's initial sketches were always thus: the one he did for the Art Gallery of Ontario is even "worse". But you miss the point... architecture is a process, and this is step one. Watch Sydney Pollack's wonderful "Sketches of Frank Gehry" and you'll get the idea: this is nothing to do with five year olds or phoning it in, and it's disingenuous in the extreme to suggest that it is.
