Mmmm, architecture
Frank Gehry made an appearance on The Simpsons last weekend. I've looked for days to find an image from the show to blog here (not set up to do my own screencaps) and voila, an article about pop culture and architecture appears. But mostly, gaze upon the image. The episode featured a nice shot at the design process, where Gehry receives a letter from Marge urging him to design a Cultural Center for Springfield. Gehry crumples the letter, disgusted, and throws it to the ground, then sees the resulting form and has an architectural epiphany. The resultant design is the balled-paper-as-building. Not as bitter, yet, as the Python Architect Sketch or the Kids in the Hall Architect and the Atrium (no transcript online that I could find; suffice to say the architect tells the clients "Screw you and screw you!" several times).
