Frank Gehry designed this year's Serpentine Pavilion in London's Hyde Park, which opened to the public yesterday. An excerpt from his interview in the FT the other Friday:
"In the last year four of my buildings have been torn down," he responds,"and I've been asked to defend them. I don't. A building refers to its time, to the things it was responding to, the people, the place. It's either useful or it's not. And sometimes they're not. The reality of our lives is that you respond to things which become absolute. You react to the problems of the world."image by Peter Guthrie on Flickr
